In the late 1980s and early 1990s\, Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl (the Kon Tiki man) organized an archaeological project at the site and hired Dan Sandweiss to co-direct the research. In this talk\, Dan describes the finds at T cume and explores with the audience some of the possible positive and negative lessons for today drawn from the ways that the inhabitants met daily challenges and responded to crises. This is an illustrated talk. Professor Dan Sandweiss will be speaking at the Rangeley Public Library on Wednesday\, September 2nd\, at 6:00 PM. Dan is a professor of anthropology and climate studies at the University of Maine and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. He is the immediate past president of the Society for American Archaeology. Most of Dan's research takes place on the coast of Peru\, where he studies ancient fishing and climate change\, especially El Ni o. Early in his career\, he did archaeology in Guatemala\, Honduras\, and Cuba\, where (thanks to his long association with Thor Heyerdahl)\, he had the chance to have coffee with Fidel Castro. Dan enjoys talking with folks about archaeology and exploring how lessons from the past might have relevance here and now. This program is part of the Maine Speaks Program which is funded by the Maine Humanities Council. Maine Humanities uses books\, poetry\, and big ideas to bring people together to discuss issues of importance. Through the programs they run and the grants they provide\, they encourage a deeper understanding of ourselves and one another\, building lasting connections and reaching diverse\, multigenerational\, and rural audiences with programs that are engaging\, and collaborative.
