Re-link!

I lost most of my blogroll links during the last redesign. If you have a link to recommend here, contact me using the form above!

Who's reading this blog?

I’ve been running this blog for nearly six years now, but for most part I don’t know who my readers are! Over the last couple of years I’ve had interactions with a few of you, either in-person at conferences or over an email conversation.

So, for the first time, make yourself known! Leave a comment [...]

Introducing the archaeograph

I mentioned working on another web project. Over the past couple of years I’ve been thinking more and more about the craft of photography in the practice of archaeology. Mostly because I work with rock art where digital photography has become the most common (and sometimes the only) way of recording them. So I’ve set [...]

Redesign update

I think I’m just about done with the blog redesign. I didn’t mean to, but last week’s problems with the comment spam eventually forced me to shut the site down for a while (hopefully you didn’t notice!) and reinstall everything from scratch. Besides the cosmetic retouch (which still looks very close to the old site), [...]

Live from Singapore

2012 for me looks set with plenty of movement. This year is meant to be my fieldwork year and I hope to be working in a number of sites in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. Rather than flying out of Canberra for these separate trips, I’m basing myself back in Singapore for a good part of [...]

Using the iPad to record rock art

This past year I’ve been working on a side project to use the iPad as the primary data collection device for recording rock art in the field, replacing paper forms that can number in the hundreds. Last week I presented the idea and the results of field testing at the Australian Archaeological Association Conference.

The Rock Art at Yankee Hat

var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-35.75, 148.95000000000005); var myOptions = { zoom: 5, center: latlng, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN }; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(“mygpMap4028″), myOptions); map.disableDoubleClickZoom = false; map.scrollwheel = true; var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: latlng, map: map });

Being in Australia now I am keen to take a look at the many examples [...]

Reporting, 'live' from Canberra

You might be wondering why I haven’t posted up anything over the last two weeks, especially with the situation at Preah Vihear erupting again last week. Well, besides the Chinese New Year festivities and holiday, I have also been busy moving from Singapore to Australia. I am now in Canberra, and I have started my [...]

Goodbye, 2010!

The last two weeks of December have been pretty low on stories, and no surprise there since it’s the holiday season (even though most Southeast Asians don’t celebrate Christmas in the Christian sense). I hope you’ve enjoyed this year’s worth of archaeology news from Southeast Asia, and we’ll see you again next year!

It is done!

It is done!

Now, onto phd applications…

Off to Hanoi!

For the next two weeks I’ll be away in Hanoi for the 19th Indo-Pacific Prehistory Association Congress in Hanoi, so I probably will not have time to write as much here. If you are headed for the IPPA Congress as well, hope to meet face-to-face and say hi!
