Upgrading our historic Albert Park
Upgrading our historic Albert Park - Treasures preserved
Albert Park is a recorded archaeological site with a rich history that includes Maori settlement, serving as a 19th-century barracks and the development of formal gardens. Clough & Associates archaeologist Barrie Baquie (pictured) has been onsite during the council's upgrade of the park to ensure that any important finds were protected or correctly excavated. Finds so far include military buttons, early 19th-century coins (including those pictured) as well as brick, stone and mortar footings, and the foundations of the barracks buildings.

Conference
Solway Park Copthorne Hotel, Masterton
54th Annual Conference ‘Archaeology and Technology’
There are still some slots for papers:
We are interested in the influence of technology within our discipline in a broad historical framework. Starting with the navigators and boat builders who first arrived on our shores from Polynesia, through early Polynesian and European colonists, the gold miners and early pastoralists through to the industrialists of the late 19th century – all have left a mark on our landscape and have influenced the way we think about archaeology.
This conference focuses on technology – old and new - and how it has influenced the archaeological record and the practice of archaeology in the early 21st century.
For inquiries regarding the conference theme and all papers inquiries please contact the papers coordinator: Dr Richard Walter at Richard.walter@stonebow.otago.ac.nz or phone (03) 479 8754.
