Prof Sharon Sullivan, AO and Prof Richard Mackay, AM will each provide a short presentation, highlighting some of the outcomes from the research and review of more than 1000 published papers that led to the selection in the readings volume. They will also highlight contemporary issues and approaches to values-based management of archaeological sites
This book is the fifth volume to appear in the Getty Conservation Institute’s ‘Readings in Conservation’ series, which gathers and publishes texts that have been influential in the development of thinking about the conservation of cultural heritage. The volume features more than seventy texts that have made important contributions to the understanding of the conservation and management of archaeological sites, addressing key issues from both a historical and a contemporary perspective.
The readings cover a broad spectrum of site types, geographic locations, cultural contexts, and methodological approaches and techniques. They range chronologically from early eighteenth-century memoirs and late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century texts by such pioneers as Heinrich Schliemann and Sir Arthur Evans to a thorough representation of recent scholarship. The volume is divided into five parts focusing on historical methods, concepts, and issues; conserving the archaeological resource; the physical conservation of archaeological sites; the cultural values of archaeological sites; and site management.

Based on the gift of a vast collection of historic garden tools, this is an exciting national resource.
The Old Mole was a passion and business run for over 14 years by Richard Bird and Lynne Walker of Armidale, collecting, sourcing and commissioning authentic reproductions and selling antique and quality garden tools. They closed the business in 2011, donating their collection of over 700 items to Carrick Hill, where Australia’s first gardening museum is being set up. Also donated were books, trade catalogues and ephemera. The museum will interpret the garden’s formation at Carrick Hill in the mid-20th century and allow for display, study and teaching of a wider aspect of Australian garden history. It will include design, plant selection and how gardening developed.
The Australian Garden History Society is developing an official relationship with the Australian Museum of Gardening for a five year period from 2013. The museum will re-introduce Carrick Hill’s productive gardens which with its orchard will be used as demonstration areas for classes.
Date: Wednesday 14 August, 6pm for 7pm start – 8.30pm finish. Preceded by a short Australian Garden History Society AGM.
Venue: Annie Wyatt Room, National Trust (NSW) Centre, Observatory Hill

6. Tasmania’a Giants Protected Forever – The Hon Mark Butler MP media release
Australia ICOMOS is committed to the dissemination of relevant cultural heritage information. In line with this commitment we are circulating the following media release from the Hon Mark Butler, dated 5 August 2013.
Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Water, Mark Butler, today took the final step for the protection of Tasmania’s Giant Trees and Tall Eucalypt Forests under Australian law.
Mr Butler signed into Australian law the new boundary for the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, which was approved by the World Heritage Committee last month.
“From today, over 170,000 additional hectares of some of Australia’s most remarkable world heritage environments are now protected under Australian law,” Mr Butler said.
“This is the final and irrevocable step for the protection of Tasmania’s majestic old growth forests in the Upper Florentine, the Styx, Huon, Picton and Counsel River valleys.
“The Upper Styx area contains the greatest concentration of very tall eucalypt trees, the world’s tallest flowering plants, with many trees that are over 90 meters tall.
“These areas are now protected in perpetuity under the Australian Government’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.”
The Commonwealth Gazettal Notice sets out the new boundary for the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and ensures its majestic stands of tall eucalypt forests, glacial landforms and alpine and sub-alpine environments and other world heritage values are protected.
“Protection for important new habitat for rare and threatened species such as the wedge-tailed eagle, the Tasmanian Devil and the white form of the Grey Goshawk are now also guaranteed,” Mr Butler said.
“I would like to thank all involved with the Tasmanian Forest Agreement and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area boundary extension for their commitment, co-operation and perseverance during the long journey towards a sustainable Tasmanian forests industry and protection for its outstanding forests and other world heritage values.
“I would also like to acknowledge the former Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Populations and Communities, Tony Burke, for his hard work towards this environmental result.”

7. ACT and Region Annual Australian Heritage Partnership Symposium – message from Helen Cooke
Dear Symposium attenders, CAS members, presenters and friends,
Congratulations to all who helped to make this year’s event sensational.
We had nearly 70 attending and have received many messages of congratulations and appreciation for the well-run day. It was great to have presentations of good news stories from our local cultural institutions such as ACT Museums and Galleries and the National Archives and MOAD, a speaker from the ACT Heritage Unit, students, heritage practitioners and professionals involved in community groups as well as our valued local historians who share their passion for particular historic places and people; sadly there is still room for improvement in the identification, protection and conservation of significant historic sites. Some great innovations for presenting history to the uninitiated were shown.
There really useful panel discussion which will guide us in promoting heritage. The program, presentations and panel report are available at the Canberra Archaeological Society (CAS) website.
We are already taking suggestions for next year’s themes and speakers. A big issue is the fate of collections so we will definitely have a substantial section on those next year.
Thanks to all for your support,
Helen Cooke

“The Intangible and Tangible Heritage as Inseparable Categories of Cultural Heritage”
XXXIII International Symposium
Coatepec, México

ICICH (International Scientific Committee on Intangible Cultural Heritage) and ICOMOS Mexico are pleased to invite papers for this conference, to be held at a site chosen due to the rich tangible and intangible heritage of Veracruz.
The dates have been chosen for two very important reasons:
- For many of you who will go to Costa Rica on October 6 to 11, the flight on October 5 from Mexico City to San José is a very convenient one, therefore you can make your travel arrangements with a four or more day stop in Mexico
- If you can spare some more time, there will be a very important popular festival of intangible Cultural Heritage of “San Jerónimo” on the week before the Symposium (September 25 to 30).
For further information, see the Call for Papers ICICH-ICOMOS Mexico XXXIII Symposium.
