Coe, an archaeologist and anthropologist who shined a light on ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, leading excavations in Guatemala and Mexico, helping decode Maya writing and art, and writing best-selling books that galvanized public interest in his field, died Sept. 25 in New Haven, Conn. He was 90. Dr. Coe worked as a CIA officer in Taiwan before beginning his archaeological career in Guatemala in the mid-1950s. Based at Yale University for 34 years before retiring in 1994, his work ranged far beyond the Maya: He was a scholar of Angkor Wat and the Khmer civilization in Southeast Asia, excavated a colonial-era fort near a farm he owned in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, and became a historian of fly-fishing. Michael Douglas Coe was born in Manhattan on May 14, 1929. Dr. Coe joined the Yale faculty in 1960. He later chaired the anthropology department and was a curator at the school's Peabody Museum of Natural History)
