Invited speaker, World Health Organization, Kobe, Japan.

John Olsen

As Principal Investigator of an NSF IGERT traineeship in archaeological sciences, one of my most important responsibilities is to oversee a program of public outreach activities ranging from sponsored lectures to the participation f IGERT students in the design and delivery of archaeology curriculum materials in Tucson K-12 classrooms. I have been involved as a consultant to INTERPOL on issues of the international trafficking of antiquities, especially looted prehistoric materials from Central and East Asia.

Barnett Pavao-Zuckerman

I have a joint appointment in the Arizona State Museum and participate in public outreach on a regular basis. I frequently give tours of my laboratory for K-12 school groups, participate in K-12 teacher training, consult on exhibit content, present public lectures, and participate in Museum public events including Open Houses and exhibit-related events. With colleagues, I teach workshops on distinguishing human and animal remains. Participants in these workshops include professionals, tribal representatives, and law enforcement personnel. I am lead PI on an Arizona Game and Fish grant-funded project, "Conservation Applications of Archaeological Data". We are building a GIS-linked database geared for use by conservation biologists and wildlife managers interested in understanding historical ranges of Arizona vertebrates. It is hoped that this important tool will aid species reintroductions and habitat reconstruction in the State.
