The Australian historic shipwreck protection project: the in situ preservation and reburial of a colonial trader - Clarence (1850). The project will use cutting-edge technology to study and preserve an early colonial shipwreck at risk and develop a world-class strategy for the reburial and preservation of endangered historic shipwrecks. The project will help develop new national policy and technical guidelines for site managers of historic shipwrecks and offer new insights into colonial shipbuil ....The Australian historic shipwreck protection project: the in situ preservation and reburial of a colonial trader - Clarence (1850).

The South Australian Historical and Maritime Archaeology Management Project. This project is expected to identify strategies for the implementation of best practice archaeological heritage management in Port Adelaide and South Australia. This research will result in strategies and approaches which will safeguard archaeological heritage while allowing development to proceed and community needs and interests to be met. These strategies will be used as the basis for development of an archaeological ....The South Australian Historical and Maritime Archaeology Management Project. This project is expected to identify strategies for the implementation of best practice archaeological heritage management in Port Adelaide and South Australia. This research will result in strategies and approaches which will safeguard archaeological heritage while allowing development to proceed and community needs and interests to be met. These strategies will be used as the basis for development of an archaeological heritage management model that results in archaeological research and conservation outcomes and public and community outcomes. It is expected that this model will be applicable within Port Adelaide, South Australia, Australia and Internationally.Read moreRead less
The Goldfields Water Supply Scheme: An archaeological study of regional development and society. This project investigates 19th and 20th century society along the Perth-Kalgoorlie settlement corridor following the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme (1897-1903). The APAI will conduct archaeological investigations (settlement survey and excavations and historical documentation analyses to address three questions: 1.) the hypothesis that regional settlement patterns were affected by the pipeline locati ....The Goldfields Water Supply Scheme: An archaeological study of regional development and society. This project investigates 19th and 20th century society along the Perth-Kalgoorlie settlement corridor following the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme (1897-1903). The APAI will conduct archaeological investigations (settlement survey and excavations and historical documentation analyses to address three questions: 1.) the hypothesis that regional settlement patterns were affected by the pipeline location and new mining and agricultural ventures; 2.) what can the archaeology tell us about the lives of those who settled alongside this industrial and regional development; and 3.) the extent of Aboriginal involvement with colonising non-Aboriginal people.Read moreRead less
The archaeology and history of quarantine. This project investigates the stories of people, place and passage inscribed in the landscape at Sydney's Quarantine Station.

An Archaeology of Institutional Confinement: the Hyde Park Barracks 1848-1886. This project has three benefits. First, it will help Australians understand more about the history of government care for the sick and the destitute, an issue that strongly resonates in the contemporary community. Second, by focusing on the archaeology of migration we can improve our understanding of its consequences. Third, the visitors to the Hyde Park Barracks Museum will be better able to understand the richness ....An Archaeology of Institutional Confinement: the Hyde Park Barracks 1848-1886. This project has three benefits. First, it will help Australians understand more about the history of government care for the sick and the destitute, an issue that strongly resonates in the contemporary community. Second, by focusing on the archaeology of migration we can improve our understanding of its consequences. Third, the visitors to the Hyde Park Barracks Museum will be better able to understand the richness and diversity of the archaeological and historical records of early Australian history. This will enhance the heritage value of archaeological assemblages that present significant challenges to those who seek to display or interpret them. Read moreRead less
The Port Adelaide Historical Archaeology (PAHA) project. The aim of this project is to investigate the concept of neighbourhood archaeology in relation to the working class of Port Adelaide. There has been limited previous research on the residents of Port Adelaide and what has been done has mainly been from a town planning and sociological perspective. The traditional history of Port Adelaide has marginalised the role of the residents in the development of Port Adelaide. Archaeological excavati ....The Port Adelaide Historical Archaeology (PAHA) project. The aim of this project is to investigate the concept of neighbourhood archaeology in relation to the working class of Port Adelaide. There has been limited previous research on the residents of Port Adelaide and what has been done has mainly been from a town planning and sociological perspective. The traditional history of Port Adelaide has marginalised the role of the residents in the development of Port Adelaide. Archaeological excavation, therefore, along with extant collections, can provide information not available from other sources. Comparison with previous work undertaken outside Port Adelaide will also provide useful insights into life in early Port Adelaide.Read moreRead less
Cultural change in its environmental context: exploring, interpreting, and managing archaeologically rich, large-scale cultural landscapes in the Mediterranean Basin. (1) Production of a Holocene climate history and evaluation of long-term human response to environmental change in Mediterranean to continental climate zones. (2) Development of relationships with international researchers, including leading scholars from Italy, Bulgaria, the United States, and the Netherlands.

(1) Production of a Holocene climate history and evaluation of long-term human response to environmental change in Mediterranean to continental climate zones. (2) Development of relationships with international researchers, including leading scholars from Italy, Bulgaria, the United States, and the Netherlands. (3) Extension of Australia's leadership in Mediterranean archaeology to the Balkans through building institutional relationships and initiating a presence in Bulgaria (arguably the most promising country in its region for archaeological research). (4) Development of innovative remote sensing methods for archaeological reconnaissance with wide applicability, including in Australian contexts and by other Australian research projects.Read moreRead less
