APECS Archaeology Discipline CoordinatorI am an Associate Lecturer in Maritime Archaeology at Flinders University (Adelaide, South Australia). My postgraduate research focussed on the archaeology of shore-based whaling stations. I have worked in both the academic and private sectors as a professional archaeologist with specialties in maritime archaeology, disaster management for archaeological sites and collections, artefact analysis and stabilisation, and international cultural heritage management. I also hold a professional certificate in gastronomy from Le Cordon Bleu—which assists with my research into maritime foodways. I am particularly interested in becoming a member of APECS as a way to increase awareness of polar archaeology within the international community. Associations such as APECS, PAN and the IPHC are vital to community exploration, management and interpretation of archaeological resources located within Polar Regions. APECS offers the chance for increased interdisciplinary cooperation, which is crucial for informed heritage management. Although I have yet to travel to the Polar Regions, participate in a polar field project or publish within the field, I am active in increasing my level of participation. My current goal is to create a database of all known maritime heritage resources located within the Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT) and use these data as a baseline for a proposed Antarctic Virtual Maritime Heritage Trail. |
