About the Series

Higher Learning Season 7, "Archaeology and Ancient Sites of the Mariana Islands" is presented by Dr. Mike T. Carson and the Micronesian Area Research Center Library at the University of Guam.

Join Dr. Mike Carson as we discover the scope and range of archaeology and ancient sites of Guam and the Mariana Islands. We'll discuss the potential values for knowledge and appreciation through real-life examples of these sites. We'll feature special guests as we address archaeological, cultural, historical, and heritage values along the way.

These episodes introduce the most current facts and findings from archaeological sites toward clarifying what we know versus what we do not know about how people lived in the islands throughout the last thousands of years. This knowledge can support diverse new discussions, perspectives and interpretations.

PBS University Higher Learning is a series aimed towards secondary education students. Based on topical discussion, the series is formatted to provide critical thinking and analytical insight on various subjects.

This program has been made possible by the Government of Guam Education Stabilization Fund.
