Archaeology From Below
Adelaide, South Australia — September 24–27, 2008
Join us this year in Adelaide, South Australia, for the AIMA/ASHA/AAMH annual archaeology conference. We borrowed this year’s conference theme from the 1960s movement 'History from Below.' That movement saw historians shift their focus from topics such as great men, big wars and political elites to subjects that previously had been neglected like women, children, urban and rural poor, immigrants and ethnic minorities. 'History from Below' was also about engaging public interest in local histories and encouraging the public to take control of their own personal and community histories.

Early Maori military engineering skills to be honoured by New Zealand Professional Engineers
"Early Maori military engineering skills to be honoured by New Zealand Professional Engineers
In a first for a Maori feat of engineering, the Institution of Professional Engineers of New Zealand (IPENZ) has recognised Ruapekapeka Pa as a national site of engineering significance."
Ed: Nineteen years ago IPENZ were not interested when I tried to get it to recognise Maori Military engineering as part of its Sesqui engineering heritage project - not realy engineering sniffed one. Still better late then never.
