DESCRIPTION:Archaeology is popularly associated with ancient remains\, but 
 the techniques of the discipline can be a particularly valuable tool for b
 etter understanding more recent\, shadowed histories\, like the interment 
 of Japanese Americans during World War II. Since 2006\, the University of 
 Denver (DU) has been engaged in archaeological research at the Granada Rel
 ocation Center National Historic Landmark\, better known as Amache\, on th
 e high plains of Colorado. A primary reason Amache received Landmark statu
 s are the many physical remains still there to bear testimony to life in t
 he camp\, including evidence of the camp layout such as roads and building
  foundations\, internee modifications to the camp landscape\, and objects 
 scattered over the area or deposited in the camp trash dumps.&nbsp\;\n\nLe
 d by Dr. Bonnie Clark\, Associate Professor of Anthropology\, the DU Amach
 e project is dedicated to researching\, preserving and interpreting the ta
 ngible history of Amache. In this talk\, Dr. Clark will discuss how archae
 ology is revealing the rich material resources of the site. Research on th
 ese remains yields surprising details about daily life in the camp\, espec
 ially strategies internees employed to transform the stark environment of 
 the camp. By working with former internees and their families\, DU student
 s and professors have aligned with the communities engaged in remembering 
 and preserving this nationally significant site.\n\nProgram is free with&n
