About
In this special study abroad program you will travel to Rapa Nui (Easter Island) for a combined seminar-style intensive course and grand “field trip” to witness the island’s most remarkable archaeology. The course is offered by leading Rapa Nui expert, Dr. Terry Hunt, whose work has been featured in a National Geographic cover story (July 2012), on Nova-National Geographic TV, and in his award-winning book with Carl Lipo, The Statues that Walked (2011). Dr. Hunt has also published his Rapa Nui research in prestigious journals such as Science, American Scientist, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, Journal of Archaeological Science, and many others.
