Provisional Survey of Aitutaki, Cook islands Sites and Monuments May-June 2017
The archaeological survey work detailed in this report was undertaken by Colin Richards and Jane Downes (University of the Highlands and Islands, UK), Kate Welham (Bournemouth University, UK), Francisco Torres Hochstetter (MAPSE, Rapa Nui (Easter Island), Chile) and Lawrence Shaw (New Forest National Park Authority, UK), working with Ngaakitai Pureariki (Punarei Aitutaki), with the permission of the Aitutaki Council, and Cook Islands Research Permit (Ref. 15-16a), working between 23rd May and 2nd June 2017. The archaeological work comprised site survey and location using GPS, geophysical survey, and surface collection of artefacts. A database of the sites has been produced as a Cultural Heritage Record, and lodged with the Aitutaki Islands Council. All artefacts have been left on the island with the Aitutaki Islands Council
Care for the Future: Heritage Education in the Context of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and Other Small Island Communities.
Education is accepted to be the principal means by which archaeological heritage
can be both enjoyed and preserved. Links between research and education through
outreach are an important part of archaeological projects on Rapa Nui, for example
providing new information for site interpretation. Knowledge exchange between
researchers and heritage managers can be another important outcome, or impact, of
research. The preliminary findings from doctoral interview-based research with
residents pertaining to archaeology, heritage management and heritage education
programs that have taken place on Rapa Nui the island will be discussed here. We
examine the role archaeological heritage is playing in Rapa Nui in education
contexts, and make some observations as to the impact and legacy of this important
work. One aspect of the education program is in developing links between
researchers, heritage managers, museums and school pupils between Rapa Nui,
and the islands of Orkney, Scotland. The benefits and potential of links between
small island communities in heritage education and management are considered in
