SUMMARY:Unearthed 2026 Series: Siltstone in the Bracken: Interpreting the Archaeological Landscape of Point Puer
DESCRIPTION:Once a trade school and reformatory for over 700 convict boys\, Point Puer Boys’ Establishment (1834–1849) survives today as a largely unexcavated archaeological landscape containing tumbled stone walls\, half-dug foundation trenches\, and eight lonesome solitary cells perched on a cliff. In this talk\, Caiti D’Gluyas will focus on the archaeological landscape to interpret the spatial logic of the domestic\, institutional and punitive spaces; the aqueduct that served a site with no reliable fresh water; and the siltstone construction and quarry face that speak to the texture of institutional life. This talk takes the material record seriously on its own terms\, moving across the Point Puer peninsula to examine what is actually there\, beneath the bracken and blue gums. \nThursday 7 May\, 10:30 am – 11:30 am\nOnline\nAnyone can view and join. \nAbout Unearthed \nUnearthed is a series of programs recognising the contributions of archaeology to our knowledge and understanding of Australian convict heritage hosted by Port Arthur Historic Sites. \nThis talk is presented in conjunction with ‘Little Depraved Felons: The Boys of Point Puer‘\, an exhibition at Port Arthur Historic Site exploring the first purpose-built juvenile prison in the British Empire.

SUMMARY:AACAI NSW/ACT Animal Bone Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The AACAI NSW/ACT Chapter invites you to an afternoon of professional development focused on the identification of animal bones in the Australian archaeological context. \nThis practical\, hands-on workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of animal bone identification within an Australian archaeological context. \nThe session begins with a concise theoretical overview\, followed by an extended practical component where participants will work directly with real specimens. You’ll learn how to recognise different bone elements and distinguish between species. \nDesigned for beginners and early-career practitioners\, this workshop is also ideal as a refresher for heritage professionals who do not regularly work with animal bone assemblages. \nThe workshop will be delivered by Dr Sofia Samper Carro\, a Senior Lecturer in Archaeological Science at the Australian National University. Dr Samper Carro is a highly experienced zooarchaeologist with over 20 years of experience\, having worked extensively across Southeast Asia\, Australia\, and Western Europe. She will bring a comprehensive Australian reference collection for participants to work with throughout the session. \nDate: Thursday 7 May 2026.\nTime: 1-5pm\nLocation: 51 Reuss St\, Leichhardt NSW\, Australia \nHosted by Heritage Now \nAll welcome! 20% discounts for AACAI members and students. \n \n
