DESCRIPTION:-------- RITUALIZED STONE AND PUBLIC ART ON EASTER ISLAND HIGHL
 IGHTS AND  INSIGHTS OF RECENT EXCAVATIONS IN STATUE QUARRY [1] -----------
 ------\n\n\nJo Anne Van Tilburg Director, Easter Island Statue Project Ro
 ck Art Archive, UCLA Cotsen Institute\n\nRegister here [2]\n\nAn internat
 ional, multidisciplinary team directed by Jo Anne Van Tilburg  conducted 
 a major archeological survey of monolithic sculpture on Rapa Nui  (Easter 
 Island). Beginning in 2002, the team mapped the inner basin of Rano  Rara
 ku, the island's famed statue quarry. This was followed in 2010 by  excav
 ations of four statues in the inner basin. This presentation summarizes  h
 ighlights of the excavations and their resulting insights into the past. I
 t  examines the role of sanctity as expressed in ritualized stone and desc
 ribes  the interactive forces key to the actualization of community expres
 sed as  megalithic public art.\n\nDr. Jo Anne Van Tilburg is an archaeolog
 ist and the Director of the Easter  Island Statue Project, an archaeologi
 cal inventory and database project that  has produced a stylistic analysis
  of nearly 900 monolithic statues  (/moai/).  Her research interest addres
 ses the integration of symbolism and  structure and the complex ways in wh
 ich humans employ cultural resources,  social practices, and ancient aes
 thetics to relate to and alter, shape, and  impact the natural landscape
 . Social processes and the interactive roles of  art, history, and ecolo
 gy are explored in on-going field and museum  studies.  Her most recent fi
 eld project is the digital mapping of the  interior of Rano Raraku Statue 
 Quarry, Easter Island. Van Tilburg is an  appointed member of the Nationa
 l Landmarks Committee, US National Park  Service Advisory Board; a Resea
 rch Associate of the Cotsen Institute of  Archaeology at UCLA, where she 
 directs the UCLA Rock Art Archive; recipient  of the 2001 California Gove
 rnor’s Award for Historic Preservation, and a  Fellow of the Royal Geogra
 phical Society. \n\n \n\n\nDate: Friday, April 9, 2021 - 11:00am to 12:0
