“All seems so lovely because all is home” – The Archaeology of Home with Mary O’Keeffe.

“All seems so lovely because all is home” wrote Katherine Mansfield to Ida Baker, April 1918.

“Home” is both a physical place, and a concept of safety, comfort, and belonging.

In her work as an archaeologist Mary O’Keeffe has explored the idea of “home”: what places and areas in New Zealand have different people called home over the centuries of occupation, and how and why has this changed.

In this illustrated talk, Mary will show the stories and small details revealed by archaeology that shape our ideas of what “home” is.
