Abstract
Abstract:Since 2003, Terevaka Archaeological Outreach (TAO, founded by Dr. Britton Shepardson) has offered unique experiential learning activities for Rapa Nui high school students to raise awareness regarding cultural and natural resources on the island, to promote conservation initiatives, and to conduct original research regarding the island's prehistoric human-environment interactions. Since incorporating as a 501(c)(3) organization in 2014, TAO has redoubled its efforts to include more high school students, incorporate advanced nondestructive research technology, and design projects that offer unique potential to combine archaeological studies with sustainable development efforts within the island community. Over the last two years, TAO students focused on three distinct projects: (1) three-dimensional ortho-corrected photogrammetry; (2) use-wear analysis of mata or obsidian blades; and (3) design and construction of vertical hydroponic gardens.
