Students and working professionals worldwide will have an opportunity to learn more about archaeology in the Marianas in an upcoming virtual minicourse hosted by the University of Guam’s Micronesian Area Research Center.
The course, titled “Archaeology and Heritage Sites of Guam and the Marianas Region: Skills and Knowledge for Working Professionals,” is a free educational program with no prerequisites open to all members of the public. Through virtual interactive resources and learning exercises, participants will learn the most updated information about the scope and range of archaeology and heritage sites of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

The course will consist of five two-hour Zoom sessions—held from 10am to noon CHST every Tuesday and Thursday from March 1 to March 15. Each session will be led by Michael Carson, an associate professor of archaeology at the University of Guam who holds a doctorate in anthropology.
“This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in archaeology—especially government officials working for museums and historic preservation sites. Through this course, they will be able to gain updated knowledge and skills that they can apply to their jobs,” Carson said.
Participants who complete the total course will receive one continuing education unit and a certificate of completion from the university.
Those interested in enrolling can email the UOG Global Learning and Engagement office at [email protected] for a registration form. Completed registration forms must be emailed back by Wednesday, Feb. 23. The course is limited to 500 participants.
