The Ritidian Site in Guam contains multiple layers and components that together reveal the full scope of traditional cultural heritage in the Mariana Islands in the northwest
tropical Pacific since 1500 B.C., dating from the beginning of human settlement of the Remote Pacific Islands. The material records of changing artifacts, sites, and landscapes here have been
incorporated into a cohesive narrative in chronological order, mirroring the experience of visiting a museum to learn about the profound heritage of this special site and its larger research
contributions. The primary data findings are presented as a translation or visitor’s guide of encountering a complex, multilayered, and multi-vocal past.
