Dr. White has worked in Southeast Asian archaeology since the mid-1970s and currently directs a field-based archaeological research program in Laos that focuses on the history and prehistory of the Mekong Basin. She is co-director of the Middle Mekong Archaeological Project (MMAP) and Director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum’s Ban Chiang Project. Since 1987 Dr.\nWhite has been a researcher and associate curator at the Penn Museum\, and she is now adjunct Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania.

During our trip\, she will discuss the culture\, history\, and prehistory of the Mekong River Basin\, the world’s twelfth longest river\, and the main artery for mainland Southeast Asia for communication\, trade\, and population movements for thousands of years. She will also discuss the ancient and historic trade networks that linked Southeast Asia to the rest of the Old World\, and the origins of Southeast Asian civilizations\, with a particular focus on the Khmer Empire. Her most popular lectures are about current archaeological research at Angkor\, and about her experience as an expert witness for a US Justice Department case on smuggling of Asian antiquities.

SUMMARY:The Enduring Lifestyle of the Ancestral Maya
DESCRIPTION:Borowski lecture \nAncient tropical societies dealt with the same issues we face today—climate instability\, growing populations\, overuse of resources\, and so on. One of the major issues at present is growing concern about providing adequate supplies of clean drinking water. We can learn from past tropical societies\, including the ancestral Maya of Central America\, whose cities supplied clean water via sophisticated\, self-cleaning reservoirs (i.e.\, constructed wetlands) for over 1\,000 years. Their long-term success demonstrates the enduring usefulness of self-cleaning reservoirs or constructed wetlands\, as I illustrate with the Classic Maya (c. 250-900 CE). I conclude with discussing the vital importance of preserving cultural heritage for descendants\, tourism—and to benefit our future through the lessons the past embodies
