Jo Anne Van Tilburg Ph.D.
Jo Anne Van Tilburg is an archaeologist, Research Associate of the Institute of Archaeology and Director of the Rock Art
Archive, UCLA. She is a specialist in Polynesian studies and has conducted field work in the Republic of Belau, Micronesia, and on Easter Island. For more than 15 years, she has worked closely with the Easter Island community, including artist Cristian Arevalo Pakarati, to discover and describe more than 900 of the island's famous monolithic statues. A passionate interest in Polynesian history led Dr. Van Tilburg to create the Rapa Nui Outrigger Club in 1989. Thanks to the leadership of the Rapanui community and the generous efforts of a world-wide circle of supporters, the Club successfully re-introduced the once-lost outrigger canoe, the quintessential Polynesian symbol, to the island.
