(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Wendy Ann Ashmore was an American professor of Maya archaeology at the University of California, Riverside. She was involved in excavations in Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras. Her research focused on the implications that spaces, settlement patterns, and gender can have on social organization. She received her B.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1970 and her Ph.D. in 1981 from the University of Pennsylvania. Her dissertation analyzed the results of the site periphery program that took place between 1975 and 1979 at Quirigua, Guatemala. In her dissertation, she discusses the use of random sampling in the Maya region and offers suggestions for how research might be carried out in that region in the future. In the 1980s she taught archaeology at Rutgers University. She left for a position at the University of Pennsylvania. Ashmore died in 2019 at her home in Riverside, California.
