Expertise and Research Interests
- Archaeology of gatherer-hunters (comparative studies of societies which traditionally subsist on and manage wild foods).
- Archaeology of Northern Australia (living-floor archaeology; ethnoarchaeology; direct dating of rock art and rock surface accretions).
- Indigenous rights and heritage management (work with Indigenous Australians).
- Archaeology of Western and Northern Europe (Palaeolithic and later; adaptations to glacial conditions; colonisation of the North Atlantic; supervision of work on the Last Glacial Maximum).
- Evolution of anatomically modern humans (AMH) and Neanderthals (supervision of work on human evolution and modelling origins).
- Exoarchaeology (potential for archaeology off-world; human space heritage in the Solar System).
- Forensic anthropology and archaeology (assist in police investigations and in preparations for disaster response; supervision of work on new forensic procedures and facilities).
- Underwater archaeology (submerged terrestrial sites and potential for sites in the Great Barrier Reef and on other continental shelves; supervision of work on shipwrecks).

Other Expertise
Space Heritage: We humans are now regularly creating sites on the Moon, Mars and to a lesser extent Venus, the asteroids and beyond. There is no United Nations space heritage treaty to protect or rank the comparative significance of sites in outer space. The UN Outer Space Treaty 1967 is an artifact of the Cold War.
The threat to sites off-world is real as robotic missions are being planned to sample the Apollo sites. This may have certain sorts of scientific and engineering merit, but it also needs an appropriate heritage perspective and assessment.
Search for Mars analogues on Earth (periglacial, hyperarid, low pressure).
International Task Force on Space Heritage, World Archaeological Congress, Co-chair with Dr Alice Gorman (Flinders University, South Australia).

Future Research
There is potential for archaeological collaboration in SETI research and detection of other technologies by astronomical remote sensing techniques. Discovery of extrasolar planets (exoplanets) in neighbouring regions of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, offers long range opportunities for new archaeological research.
Proposals for direct imaging of Earth-like exoplanets and detection of evidence for technologies (with Dr Lisa Kaltenegger, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, Massachusetts)
Proposals for interstellar messaging styles and techniques (with Dr Doug Vakoch, SETI Institute, Mountain View, California)

Industrial Relevance
The various space exploration industries and national space agencies need to start planning now for assessment and management of the more significant space heritage sites and equipment or artifacts, especially as the number and diversity of spacefaring nations and organisations is increasing. As with many sorts of planning on Earth, planning for further space exploration and eventual colonisation of the Moon and Mars should include appropriate preparations for heritage. The same mistakes made in the past on Earth should not be made in space. This does not mean that everything needs to be protected, which would not be feasible anyway. A representative international selection of space heritage sites and artifacts should be protected.
