I am the managing director, founder and executive archaeologist for Archae-aus.

I have a first class honours degree in prehistoric and historic archaeology from the University of Sydney. My career in Indigenous cultural heritage management began in 1990 in New South Wales. Since that time I have worked in South Australia, Queensland, Northern Territory and the Philippines, with the majority of my fieldwork experience occurring in the Pilbara, Goldfields, Kimberley and South-West regions of Western Australia.

I am actively involved in the professional archaeological community where I am a full member of the Australian Association of Consulting Archaeologists. I served a two year term as secretary of the Australian Archaeological Association from 2005-2007 and as Membership Secretary for the Australian Association of Consulting Archaeologists in 2004-2005. I am a member of the Australian Institute of Managing Directors.

In addition, I regularly present papers at international and Australian conferences and have a few published articles that I try to write while running Archae-aus and looking after my family. I am also a published archaeological illustrator. I have a wide ranging interest in hunter-forager archaeology with special focus on landscape use, hunter-forager stone arrangements and the development of hunter-forager textiles.

I have worked with Archae-aus since 2002, and became a principal archaeologist / client service manager in 2006. I have an honours degree in archaeology from the University of Western Australia.

I began my archaeological career in 2000 having established my own consulting firm specialising in historical archaeology. As a director of this firm I undertook and managed a number of historical surveys and excavations in and around the Perth metropolitan area until 2002 when I joined Archae-aus. Between 2002 and 2006 I took part in numerous archaeological surveys and recording/salvage programmes in the Hamersley Ranges for numerous clients.

In 2006 I became a principal archaeologist and began running the archaeological component of Fortescue Mineral Group’s heritage programme at Cloudbreak. This has involved aiding in the construction of heritage inductions for the wider mine staff, conducting numerous surveys, detailed recording and salvage programmes as well as excavating several rock shelters.

The challenge of running such a large scale project has given me the opportunity to explore my interests which include working closely with the traditional owners as well as gaining a detailed understanding of the regional aspects of Indigenous archaeology of the Chichester Range, a previously undocumented area.

I joined Archae-aus in May 2011 as a Specialist Heritage Advisor working on a casual basis assisting Archae-aus in their programme of best practice cultural heritage management, report editing and providing CHM advice to their clients.

I have worked as a leading consultant, regulator, research director and academic on Indigenous archaeology and heritage since 1982. My Honours thesis was on the Burrup Peninsula (1982) and my Doctorate on the Canning Stock Route/Western Desert region (1989). I have carried out fieldwork, including excavations and intensive mitigation, in most parts of Australia – and also in East Timor, the Aru Islands and the remote Pacific. I have completed several hundred peer reviewed books, chapters, papers and consultancy reports and am regularly invited to present lectures at international conferences and universities.

I have worked for the University of Western Australia, the WA Department of Indigenous Affairs, been Director of Australian Heritage Assessments, A/Professor at James Cook University, Director of Research Program at the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies and substantive A/Professor and Adjunct Chair at the Australian National University. I have been an investigator on over 30 nationally competitive research grants since 1986 with a quantum of $4 million. My most recent grant was the Rock Art and Jukurrpa of the Canning Stock Route – with traditional custodians, government agencies and numerous other stakeholders.
