My research interests include historical archaeology, the archaeology of Aboriginal-European interaction and computer applications in archaeology generally. I have a particular interest in the application of digital technologies to archaeological excavation, survey and analysis and to cultural heritage management. Much of my more recent fieldwork has been concerned with the use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in archaeological survey in Australia, Greece and Cambodia, as well as the three dimensional recording and visualisation of archaeological data. Building on our work for Sydney TimeMap and the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative I also have an interest in historical GIS and the interpretation and analysis of historical maps using GIS.

My roles in the ACL include coordinating many of our diverse ventures, especially the development of GIS data, graphics and design for TimeMap applications, other projects and publications. I am also involved in teaching undergraduates and running training courses for students, humanities scholars and professional archaeologists.

Current and on-going research involvements:

• Archaeological Investigations at Regentville
• Australian Paliochora-Kythera Project (APKAS)
• Central Australia Archaeology Project (CAAP)
• Greater Angkor Project (GAP)
• Historical Archaeology of the Pilbara Project
