Awards Saturno has been awarded more than US$2.3m from over 45 grants throughout his career as an archaeologist, including the Peabody Museum Research Grant, National Endowment for the Humanities Collaborative Research Grant, and the Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation for his work in San Bartolo and the NASA IPA for work in archaeological remote sensing. Fieldwork and projects His most famous discovery to date, Saturno has worked continuously in San Bartolo since 2001 in an ongoing project. Work originally centered on the preclassic murals of San Bartolo, but more recently is focused on the large, nearby city of Xultun and the changes in Maya politics and kingship from the preclassic to European contact. Since 2013, he has directed field work in Northern Peru, using remote sensing techniques like Landsat and ASTER to find archaeological features in the area and commercial sugar cane plantation environments. He is interested in how ancient Peruvians adapted to their coastal desert environment and how ancient land use has had lasting effects on environmental functions. He has also conducted extensive excavation, surveying, and mapping of ancient Maya and Peruvian archaeological sites, including the ancient Maya city of Copan and Rio Bravo in Belize. Publications and media appearances Saturno has written three books to date and contributed to over eight compiled archaeological volumes.
