Hard to do justice in a short description. A leading archaeologist at the University of Western Australia, has carried out research and management throughout Australia and beyond, engaging with marine themes and science for over 30 years including pioneering work on the marine heritage of Torres Strait, Dampier Archipelago, Barrow and Montebello Islands. Recent ARC projects include the Australian Historic Shipwreck Preservation Project www.ahspp.org.au; The Archaeology of the Aru Islands; and Murujuga: Dynamics of the Dreaming (Dampier Archipelago). Research carried out on the Montebellos and Barrow Island has established the earliest evidence for coastal occupation at 50,000 years.
