The Richard F. Taitano Micronesian Area Research Center (MARC) at the University of Guam announces the eighth installment in its MARC Seminar Series: a lecture by archaeologist Mike Carson titled “What Can We Learn from Archaeology Today?”

Carson relates: “In our modern world today, what we can learn from archaeology as the study of the ancient past? In fact, we can learn what was successful and unsuccessful for people who faced many of the same real-life issues that we face today. We can learn about the management and policies that could be sustainable or non-sustainable through periods of changing climate and sea level, dynamics of population growth and density, and more. This field of research bears global relevance, and especially informative examples have been found in Guam and in the larger Asia-Pacific region.”

The MARC Seminar Series lectures are open to the public, free of charge, and held on Tuesdays of every month beginning at 6:30 p.m. The prerecorded lectures by Rlene“Live” Productions will be published on YouTube and the Legislative Channels: GTA 21 and Docomo 117.

Time: Doors opens at 6 p.m. Lecture begins promptly at 6:30 p.m.

Date: Thursday, Oct. 11, 2018

Location: College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Lecture Hall
