Scott Fitzpatrick, professor of anthropology at the UO, speaks on "Archaeology in Palau, Micronesia: 3000 years of Life and Death in the Chelechol ra Orrak Rockshelter." Over the millennia, people used this island site in the western Pacific Ocean for human burials, as a campsite and as a quarry for stone money. Fitzpatrick will present a variety of evidence that illuminates a fascinating story of continuity and change over time.
