Please join us for our June 28, 2026 RCAS meeting on Sunday at 2:00 PM at Oaklands Mansion Event Hall, Murfreesboro, TN. We are excited to present field scientist Aja Reyes and hear her talk on the important and comprehensive study of Rock Art in Guam.

The Guam Rock Art Study (GRAS) provides the most comprehensive systematic and scientific baseline about Guam rock art to date all while using non-intrusive technologies and methods of digital archaeology. GRAS includes 12 rock art sites, and potentially four additional sites from the 2026 field effort. The GRAS is an ongoing passion project started in 2020 by a diverse team of professionals to survey previously reported rock art sites on Guam. The GRAS has increased public awareness and interest in Guam Rock Art and shed light on prolific presence of rock art on Guam. This presentation is an update to the presentation given at the 2nd Pacific Preservation Summit in 2022.

     The GRAS team coalesce traditional and leading-edge sciences and technologies. Dr. Andrea Jalandoni, digital archaeologist and specialist in recording and enhancement of rock art images; Nina Peck, archaeologist with expertise in field survey, analyses and museum collections; Aja Reyes, field scientist with a background in marine biology, natural and cultural resources (N&C), and mapping; Dr. Boyd Dixon, with over 50 years of expertise in archaeology and cultural landscapes; Victor Torres with local expertise in historic preservation, environmental planning and mapping; Maria Kottermair, GIS analyst with expertise in digital archaeology, remote sensing, and N&C resources; and Dr. Calum Farrar, archaeologist specializing in rock art, digital archaeology and virtual reality applications.
