  • « Is Archaeology Relevant in the Modern World?
  • Hangi and moa: the archaeology of the 14th century Redcliffs Flat Village »

Tuesday April 30th 6pm to 7:30pm Inkbox, Oamaru Opera House, 94 Thames Street, Oamaru

The talk is free to attend

In this talk Professor Richard Walter will talk about how archaeology (the study of the past) often provides unique perspectives on the present.

Drawing on examples from ongoing research projects in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, Professor Walter will show how different archaeological projects have real-world implications for society, and especially for descendant communities today. The excavations he will discuss range from cave sites in the forests of Melanesia, through to fourteenth century villages in the Catlins. The talk will emphasis the broad scope of archaeology; how it draws on modern science but how it seeks always to be relevant not only to other scientists, but to all stakeholder and descendant communities.
