Spearheaded by a highly successful International Conference, the third Arte-Polis in 2010 focuses on the theme ‘Creative Collaboration and the Making of Place: Learning from Shared Creative Experiences’. The aim of Arte-Polis 3 is to share and learn from international and local experiences regarding current issues, best practices and policy implications of creative collaboration on place-making.

7. Conserving Aboriginal rock art – a query
Gisella Campanelli is a cultural materials conservation student at Melbourne Uni, and is in the process of completing an assignment (due Monday 31 May!!) advocating for the conservation of Aboriginal rock art. In your experience, has the Aboriginal community looked at the handling of rock art by conservators in a positive way, or have there been occasions where it has created tension? She imagines that permission may need to be sought from relevant members of the Aboriginal community before treatment goes ahead, and is wondering – does this happen often?
If you have any experience with this matter and are able to assist Gisella with her query, please email her directly.

8. AIMA Conference 2010 – call for papers
AIMA Conference 2010 – Perceptions and Misconceptions of Maritime Heritage: accuracy and impact in the public domain
The conference organisers are now inviting proposals for papers on the themes of the proposed sessions, covering current issues in Australasian maritime archaeology as well as sessions of interest and relevance to Australasian archaeologists more generally. We also invite posters to be displayed at the conference on relevant research topics.
Please send your paper submissions to both the relevant session organiser (see below) AND to the conference organiser, hanna.steyne@dpcd.vic.gov.au.
Submissions should include:
- Your name, contact phone number, email, affiliation/organisation
- Proposed session
- Abstract of max 250 words
The deadline for abstracts is 12 July 2010.
A final list of sessions will be posted once all paper proposals have been received and considered. The decision on the final list of sessions rests with the Conference Organising Committee. Papers will be 15 to 20 minutes long depending upon the number of paper proposals received.
The provisional sessions are:
Views from the far side – insights and experiences of working with maritime heritage
Hanna Steyne: hanna.steyne@dpcd.vic.gov.au
- This session will provide asset managers, developers, consultants and heritage managers with an opportunity to present their experiences and thoughts on working with and around maritime heritage sites. The aim of the session is to provide an opportunity to discuss some of the perceptions and misconceptions of managing maritime development projects and maritime heritage sites. The session hopes to provide all involved with an insight into the highs and lows of dealing with heritage agencies, consultant archaeologists, heritage advisers, builders, architects, etc, to dispel some myths and hopefully enable all parties to gain a new viewpoint.
Too soon to be heritage? The significance of our recent maritime past
David Steinberg: david.steinberg@nt.gov.au
- This session will focus on public and professional perceptions of our recent maritime past. At what point in time do events, dramas and stories associated with our seas, rivers and coastline become part of the formal narrative of our maritime history? In what ways do the public identify with recent maritime events, and what contribution can archaeologists, historians and curators make in interpreting them. What are the consequences of public and professional perceptions of our recent maritime past in the preservation of its physical remains?
Challenges managing maritime heritage objects and collections
Susanna Collis: susanna.collis@dpcd.vic.gov.au & Annie Muir: anne-louise.muir@dpcd.vic.gov.au
- Abstract not yet available.
Myths and Legends in Archaeology
Peter Harvey: peter.harvey@dpcd.vic.gov.au
- Abstract not yet available.
The ‘Research’ Session
Matt Carter: matt.carter15@gmail.com
- A session for students at any stage of their research to present their work whether it be for Honours or PhD. We’d also like to invite AIMA/NAS graduates and dive clubs to present on any surveys or research they have been involved with.
19th Century shipwreck salvage
Hanna Steyne: hanna.steyne@dpcd.vic.gov.au
- Abstract not yet available.
Zuiddorp: Unfinished business
Wendy van Duivenvoorde: Wendy.VanDuivenvoorde@museum.wa.gov.au
- A session on the recent work done on the Dutch East Indiaman Zuiddorp in WA. Work is currently being undertaken to complete the final publication of Zuiddorp and this session will share some of that work with AIMA members.
Archaeology & the media
Emily Jateff: emily.jateff@flinders.edu.au & Cassandra Philippou: cassphilippou@gmail.com
- From documentary to drama and internet to print, maritime archaeology in the media is transmitted to the public as the adventure of a lifetime. The relationship, or lack thereof, between maritime archaeology and the media relates directly to myths and misconceptions created and perpetuated through the media about archaeology and maritime archaeology. This session will address how both archaeologists and the media have contributed to, and are responsible for, public perceptions of maritime archaeology; promote new research in media applications, cross-disciplinary training and education, and discuss how archaeologists can be better informed and thereby ensure the right messages are given to the public.

9. Philippine-Australian cooperation restores Gabaldon-type school in Camiguin
SET TO BE INAUGURATED THIS WEEK IS the newly conserved Kugita Elementary School, a landmark Gabaldon-type schoolhouse on Camiguin.
What makes the inauguration significant is that the conservation was a joint effort of the Philippines and Australia, signaling for the first time foreign interest in the uniqueness and intrinsic value of Philippine heritage.
The Australian government participated through its AusAid program, which assists the Department of Education in school rehabilitation.
