Maxime Lamoureux-St-Hilaire is a Visiting Assistant Professor in Archaeology in the Anthropology Department of Davidson College.
He received his Ph.D. from Tulane University (2018) and his M.A. from Trent University (2011). Max has a keen interest for cross-cultural comparisons in archaeology and is most fascinated by how ancient governments worked. Specifically, he studies the structure of Classic Maya royal courts as evidenced by their regal palaces. Most recently, Max has excavated the regal palace of La Corona, Guatemala, although his archaeological path has also led him to work in Belize, Mexico, Honduras and Québec.
Max is the co-organizer of the Maya at the Lago and Maya at the Playa Conferences, the cofounder and Editor-in-Chief of The Mayanist, and the President of the Board of Directors of the Boundary End Archaeology Research Center.
