Director Dr Marshall I. Weisler , University of Otago Contents Project aims Summary of fieldwork Results to date Work in progress ... Publications Background Preliminary archaeological survey and test excavations conducted in 1994 revealed a rich and diverse prehistoric record dating back at least 2000 years. In conjunction with the Historic Preservation Office, Republic of the Marshall Islands, a three year project was initiated to document the origins of the Marshallese, their adaptations to coral atolls , the effects of rising sea levels on these low islands, the spatial and temporal development of material culture and the transformation of Marshallese society over two millennia. The Marshall Islands trend north - south for 1200 km and experience a marked annual rainfall gradient from 500 mm in the north to 3000 mm at the extreme south. This rainfall regime is mirrored in the prehistoric settlement and subsistence patterns of these islands. For example, tree crops such as coconut and Pandanus are dominant in the north, while breadfruit and tuber crops (such as giant swamp taro ) are plentiful in the south. Three atolls were selected for study: Ebon in the wet south, Maloelap in the middle of the archipelago and Utršk in the dry north.

Home RMI Historic Preservation Office What is RMI Histric Preservation Office? What's New in HPO? RMI Historic Preservation Office The Republic of the Marshall Islands' Historic Preservation Office is located within the Cultural Affairs Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Historic Preservation Office (HPO) was created by the Historic Preservation Act of 1991, amended in 1992, with the primary responsibility of protecting and preserving the tangible and intangible cultural properties of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). The HPO operates on the advice and assistance of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, a seven-member board that includes government officials and members of the general public. The Chairman of the Council is the Minister of Internal Affairs, who is responsible, among other things, for promoting cultural affairs, and is confirmed by the Cabinet. The HPO receives funding from both the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the U.S. government. Since 1985, the HPO has been the recipient of a Historic Preservation Fund Grant administered by the US National Park Service, Department of the Interior. This grant is provided to the HPO on an annual basis, and is earmarked for program areas including program administration, public education, site nomination and registration, site development, archaeological survey and inventory, and oral history and ethnography. Once every four years, the grantor conducts a program review to ensure that the aimed goals and objectives have been met satisfactory during previous years, and then provides recommendations for future improvement.
