Terevaka Archaeological Outreach (TAO) 2016 field report: Exploring a new dimension
Since 2003, Terevaka Archaeological Outreach (TAO)
has provided educational opportunities for local high
school students within the Rapa Nui community.
The program was created in an effort to restructure
the traditional priorities of international scientific
expeditions to the island, and since 2003 the three
primary goals of TAO have remained the same: (1)
To offer experiential learning opportunities specific to
cultural and natural resources that surround the local
community; (2) To promote awareness and expertise in
conservation measures and sustainable development;
and (3) To document and study both cultural and
natural phenomena of the past and today
