Scott is collaborating with Elizabeth Graham on archaeological research in Belize, specifically on Ambergris Caye, Belize's largest barrier island. Their work focuses on ancient coastal Maya adaptations to changing environmental, social and economic conditions on the mainland of Belize, Yucatan, and beyond. Current research involves an examination of the latest phase of precolumbian Maya occupation (Late Postclassic-Spanish Colonial) in what is now San Pedro Town.
