Conservation of the 13th-16th-Century Nan Madol Archaeological Site in Eastern Micronesia
This project, which includes the documentation of the site and development of a conservation plan, supports America's commitments under the Compact of Free Association.
In its time, Nan Madol was the ceremonial center of the Saudeleur dynasty, a vibrant period in Pacific Island culture, whose local rulers are said to have been the first in the region to adopt a centralized form of governance. [Photo credit: Maria Kottermair]
