Twilight Series

Archaeology Talk

Meet Toowoomba's very own ‘Time Team' when husband-wife duo, Assoc Prof Bryce Barker and Dr Lara Lamb present a glimpse into their life, work and research at USQ's first Twilight Archaeology Seminar.

Lecturers in Anthropology/Archaeology at USQ, Bryce and Lara have worked both separately and together on a range of projects including locally based historical archaeological sites such as the Eagles Nest Depression camp in Redwood Park, the old Toowoomba jail and the Ballard Cottage; pre-European Aboriginal archaeology in the Whitsunday/Bowen region; and community-based research in the Western Gulf of Papua New Guinea.

The informal discussion will focus on some of the discoveries of their research and how it can contribute to the wider community, as well as their experiences as an ‘archaeological family', carrying out field work in remote places for extended periods of time with their two young children.
