2. Burra Charter Guidelines Review: have your say
The Burra Charter Guidelines Review is underway.
There are 4 documents awaiting your comments:
- The Burra Charter (Draft 2013)
- Practice Note – Understanding and assessing cultural significance
- Practice Note – Developing policy
- Practice Note – Undertaking studies and reports
The Burra Charter (Draft 2013) contains a number of small changes – place has been re-defined, for example, to better reflect current practice. You might also like to comment on future changes you’d like to see to the Charter, recognising that it needs to keep up with current best practice.
The idea of Practice Notes is new for Australia ICOMOS so we are really keen to see what you think. These three Practice Notes are completely new – drawing from the current Guidelines but aiming to explain the steps more clearly and address current practice issues.
Go to the dedicated page on the Australia ICOMOS website to download the documents, join in the Discussion Forums or lodge your comments via the on-line survey. You have until Friday 28 June to contribute your comments on these four documents.
Later in June Australia ICOMOS will release four more Practice Notes for comment:
- Article 22: New Work
- The Burra Charter and Indigenous Cultural Heritage Management
- The Burra Charter and Archaeological Practice
- Interpretation

3. Professional Development seminar on Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Fremantle, WA
The AACAI WA Chapter is pleased to announce we will be running a two part Professional Development seminar on Geographical Information Systems (GIS), relevant to Archaeologists and heritage professionals in July and August.
The GIS Seminars will be presented by Dr Tom Whitley of the University of Western Australia. Dr Tom Whitley has specialised in archaeological applications of GIS, statistics, and spatial analysis since the late 1980s; particularly in the areas of interpreting cognitive landscapes and large scale predictive modelling. He currently coordinates the Masters of Professional Archaeology program at UWA and has worked as a Professional Archaeologist for more than 25 years in the United States, the Caribbean, Japan, and the Middle East. His most recent publications are in the areas of Paleoeconomic Analysis, examining resource acquisition, competition, and social control, in the Southeastern United States; especially from the late prehistoric through European Contact. He is also engaged in new res earch at Fremantle Prison, and remote sensing work in the Rhone-Jura region of Switzerland.
Interpretive GIS Seminar, Part I – It can be said that all of archaeology is essentially a spatial analysis. This is because context is the most important element for any site, feature, or artefact. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a tool for examining exactly that: the context of sites, features, and artefacts. But even more so, GIS is a tool for modelling human behaviour, interaction, and agency. This workshop/seminar would focus on the concepts behind GIS and spatial analysis as they are, and can be, applied in archaeology. The goal is to provide an understanding of how we move beyond simple mapping and analytical applications of GIS, to more complex ways of interpreting larger social issues: such as perception, risk, decision-making, knowledge, ex change, competition, gender roles, movement and mobility, power and control, foraging and production, and territoriality. A series of case studies will be presented that illustrate ways in which these kinds of interpretations can be addressed, evaluated, and visualised. These will be followed by open discussions of how such techniques may be applied within Australian archaeology; for both research and heritage management purposes. No pre-existing background in GIS is required.
Interpretive GIS Seminar, Part II – Following the theoretical outline presented in Part I, this section will specifically address several more complex GIS processes: archaeological predictive modelling and paleoeconomics. Predictive modelling has a long and controversial history in archaeology, and it has passed through a series of developmental stages. Today, however, many models are created that do not thoroughly consider all of the issues involved, and repeatedly make the same assumptions and mistakes. Paleoeconomics is an outgrowth of many of the same procedures used in predictive modelling but in many respects “the other side of the coin” so to speak. It can provide some amazingly detailed interpretations of sites and their surrounding conte xt throu gh the creative application of GIS tools. The focus here will be to go into much more detail on how to transform raw environmental data into quantitative surfaces that have real interpretive, and or predictive, value for archaeologists. The applications to specific regions or projects in Australia will also be explored. It is assumed that Part I was previously attended.
Seminar 1 will be held on Friday 26 July from 1- 4pm and Seminar 2 will be held on Friday 2 August 2 1-4pm, at the AACAI office in North Fremantle. Attendance of Seminar 1 is required to attend Seminar 2. Light refreshments will be served after the seminars.
The cost will be $75 for AACAI members and $110 for non-members, or if you’d like to register for both seminars the discounted rate will be $130 for AACAI Members and $180 for AACAI non-members. There is a limit of 50 places at these events, so register early to ensure your spot.
If you would like to register email the AACAI WA Chapter Secretary Diana Neuweger or call Diana on (08) 6142 8420.

5. Invitation to launch of Public Sydney-Drawing the City, (Sydney)
INVITATION FOR THE LAUNCH OF PUBLIC SYDNEY-DRAWING THE CITY
FOR THE HERITAGE COMMUNITY
BY MINISTER ROBYN PARKER IN COLLABORATION WITH THE HERITAGE COUNCIL OF NSW
Wednesday 19 June 2013, from 5.15pm
People all over the world have made considerable efforts over many centuries to outdo each other in demonstrating their strengths and achievements through public buildings. Sydney has done no less. From Old Government House to the Sydney Opera House, there is a long list of public buildings in Sydney that represent that sense of pride and strength. Architecture as an instrument of public purpose is clearly visible in these buildings.
Normally these buildings, in spite of being called public buildings, maintained a sense of mystery for general public. Traditionally, the interface with public has been the building facade and a small section of the building where public was allowed. Now thanks to the colossal efforts made by Philip Thalis and Peter John Cantrill and their students we have a chance to have a deeper look into these majestic public buildings of Sydney though their book Public Sydney.
The book Public Sydney presents the making of Sydney and its public buildings in a beautifully illustrated manner that makes it so easy to appreciate the city’s evolution. For those who care about Sydney, this book will be a source of inspiration and an indispensable resource.
The book Public Sydney contains scale drawings of almost 100 of the city’s most important public places accompanied by an overview of their evolution. These accompanied essays have been written by leading architects, landscape architects, historians and academics offering keen insights into the city’s underlying geography, urban character and most recognisable and well loved public elements.
The authors, Peter John Cantrill and Phillip Thalis combine award winning architectural practice with university teaching, writing and lecturing. IN 2009 they were jointly awarded the New South Wales Institute of Architects President’s Medal for services to architecture.
Philip is a principal of Hill Thalis Architecture + Urban Projects. Peter John is Director of Tzannes Associates Architects.
Public Sydney has been co-published by the Historic Houses Trust and the journal Content, Faculty of Built Environment, University of New South Wales. It has been sponsored by the City of Sydney and the Historic Houses Trust members, with input and support from the Government Architect’s Office, New South Wales.
Minister Robyn Parker (Minister for Heritage) will launch the book Public Sydney in collaboration with the Heritage Council of NSW at the Heritage Branch on Wednesday 19 June 2013. The program will start at 5.00PM with light refreshments.
Download the ‘Public Sydney’ launch_Program and Booking Form if you would like to attend this launch. Fax completed booking form to (02) 9873 8599 or email to the Heritage Council of NSW.
Please note the places available for this event are limited, so send the registration form as soon as possible.

8. The Vietnam Maritime Archaeology Project Centre
Unlike other exhibits, project journals, and “in the field” pages that feature one specific project, a “Project Center” acts as a clearing house of sorts and hosts information on numerous sites and includes articles, photos, interactive images, maps, links, reports, and references surrounding a main topic.
Dr. Mark Staniforth and a team of researchers, who have been working in Vietnam for the past few years, created the Project Center to increase awareness at local, provincial, national and international levels about the extent and nature of Vietnam’s underwater and maritime cultural heritage. The site will present material about a range of maritime archaeology projects as well as maritime and underwater cultural heritage investigations that are being conducted in Vietnam today.
Visit the Vietnam Maritime Archaeology Project Center website and explore Vietnam’s fascinating maritime history including 10th century battles against Kublai Khan, traditional boat building, shipwrecks, NAS training efforts and more.

20. 13th International Conference on Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture, United Kingdom, June 2013
13th International Conference on Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture (STREMAH 2013)
25 – 27 June, 2013
New Forest, UK
Modern society exerts considerable strain on our architectural heritage, partly due to the increase of population and the associated demands on the built environment, and also because of the pernicious effects of pollution. The difficulties and costs of repairs and maintenance contribute to the neglect of important buildings in times of economic stress. It is hence important that our research addresses not only technical questions, but solutions that can be implemented in practice, where social and economic considerations may be paramount. The STREMAH conference fulfils the important function of bringing together experts from different disciplines from all over the world to discuss problems of common interest and put forward solutions.
