1) World Heritage
Day
WA event
Wednesday 18 April 2007
This
year’s theme is “Cultural Landscapes and Monuments of Nature”.
Hosted by
Australia ICOMOS, PhD student Sam Bolton will share her research in a paper
entitled:
“Just Passing Through: the archaeology of temporary and
permanent settlements en route to the Goldfields”
6pm Wednesday 18 April
2007
SIMMONDS Lecture Theatre
General Purpose Building 3 (off Myer
St)
University of Western Australia
Sam holds a Bachelor of Arts
(Hons) in archaeology and a Bachelor of Science from the University of
Sydney. She is currently completing her PhD in archaeology at UWA,
studying late 19th and early 20th century settlement sites along the Perth to
Kalgoorlie transport corridor. She has worked on numerous archaeological sites
around Australia and the world, including Britain, Cambodia and
Tanzania.
Sam’s paper looks at settlement sites where various components
of infrastructure, such as the Hunt’s Wells (1864-66), a telegraph line (1891),
a railway line (1894), and the water pipeline (1897-1903) were built.
Archaeological evidence from a regional analysis of a sample of the sites
indicates they were temporary and that this was reflected in the material
culture. The paper will ask: what do isolated places look like from an
archaeological perspective, and were these places isolated at
all?

2) Report on visit to Duong Lam, Vietnam,
to discuss
the current conservation project in the village.
March 20 21
2007
Elizabeth Vines attended a two day site visit and
workshop from March 20 21 on behalf of Australia ICOMOS to provide input
on an architectural conservation project being conducted in Duong Lam village,
about 50km west of Hanoi. Since 2003, there has been cooperation between
the Vietnamese and Japanese government in carrying out assessment of this
village, and in the last 12 months some pilot conservation projects have been
undertaken. The meeting included the local Vietnamese representatives, a
group from the Japanese Showa University, who have been researching and
providing technical advice. Richard Engelhardt (UNESCO Regional Advisor
for Culture in the Asia and Pacific), Dinu Bimbaru, (ICOMOS Secretary General)
and Elizabeth provided input on conservation and heritage planning issues for
the town.
The village is very picturesque wonderful rural back
drop of rice fields, and ponds with an intimate collection of four villages
constructed in laterite (stone), brick and mud brick with tiled
roofs. The majority of buildings were constructed in the late 19th and
early 20th century with some older buildings up to 200 years old.
The
village character was established by the grouping of the building elements which
created the ambience of the place. The Japanese have spent time and much
energy on detailed documentation, and the Vietnamese had the site inscribed as a
“National Relic” in May 2006.
The challenges were typical of other
towns being conserved either in Asia or in Australia. One of the key
issues is the need to ensure that best practice conservation occurs at the
site. The use of traditional lime mortar (rather than cement), appropriate
construction materials and the need to regulate intrusive new development in the
village were all key issues challenging the village management agency. In
addition, there is a need for a clear master plan which outlines conservation
policies and implementation strategies, supported by the local farming community
to ensure appropriate future management and conservation of the village.
The meeting was an interesting example of ICOMOS in operation as a
practical and proactive body, providing input into conservation processes and
practices. It was also an interesting opportunity to learn more about the
fascinating challenges facing the Asia region in the management of their built
heritage and cultural landscapes.
