1) Australia ICOMOS - Canberra
Talk Series
The Problem of Human Remains on the ANZAC
Battlefields, Gallipoli
Dr Peter Dowling
National Trust (ACT)
During five visits to the Anzac battlefields at Gallipoli between 2003
and 2008, Dr Dowling found human remains on the surface in several areas
which are highly frequented by visitors. In April 2008 alone, 8,000
people visited these areas.
In such areas of high visitation the exposed bones run the risk of being
crushed by the wheels of tourist coaches, or worse by illegal collection
and removal. The National Trust regards this as unacceptable.
Dr Dowling will provide an overview of the nature and significance of the
Anzac battlefields. He will then discuss the issue of human remains and
will outline a survey methodology to detect and manage human bone visible
on the surface in specific areas noted for high tourist visitation and
impact.
Members and the public are welcome. Refreshments available.
This is part of a series of talks organised in Canberra by Australia
ICOMOS.
Time & Date: 5.00-6.30 pm, Thursday 27 November - the
talk will actually start at 5.30.
Venue: Menzies Room, National Archives of Australia, East
Block, Queen Victoria Terrace, Parkes (enter from Kings Avenue side).
RSVP: To Duncan Marshall at
marsd@ozemail.com.au

5) WA ICOMOS Christmas Drinks -
Peel Town Archaeological Site
Arguably one of the most important archaeological finds in WA, Dr Shane
Burke and a team of volunteers have worked on the site for the past 2
years, but they have only just begun. The site has been dated to 1830,
the first year of European settlement in WA and has already unearthed a
rich collection of material and structural remains. It is anticipated
that the excavations will continue for a decade.
Shane will give members and friends a tour of this important site and
discuss a range of issues that have had to be dealt with to protect the
site.
Meet at the car park opposite the Naval Base Shacks
Date & Time: Wednesday 3 December, 5.30 pm
Cost: Members $12, non-members $15
Refreshments will be served after the tour
