Dr. Michael Carson, Associate Professor of Archaeology in the Micronesian Area Research Center at 91快播 hosts the series which incorporates his research and lectures. 

鈥淭he 14 episodes look into what we know so far about the traditional latte sites, about the older sites of ancestral CHamoru habitation in the islands, about pottery artifacts, about specialized studies of ancient DNA and other evidence, and about diverse perspectives in the local community, government offices, museum curation issues, and more,鈥� Dr. Carson said.

Each video provides an easy way to learn about what archaeology has revealed so far and what still potentially can be learned, according to Dr. Carson.

鈥淧eople can watch the videos in their comfort and convenience to enjoy the latest discoveries and perspectives, without enrolling in a university program or reading textbooks.鈥�

Dr. Carson condensed previous classroom presentations and online workshops to focus just on the key points and to encourage people to explore more. The videos also feature experts who will discuss public education and outreach of archaeology, community-based engagement with archaeology, government office management of ancient sites, ancient DNA research, and other topics.

The episodes will be shown on PBS Guam, Channel 12 on DOCOMOPacific TV, and GTA TV, at 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. every Tuesday through Saturday beginning on Saturday, March 4. There will be a repeat airing of certain episodes.  

The episodes will also be available through PBS University online. To learn more, go to
