Description

The Buildings Archaeology Group will host their AGM, which will be followed by a lecture "Building Archaeology at the end of the Empire; the investigation and recording of heritage buildings in Aotearoa/New Zealand". The lecture will cover:

  • Brief history of New Zealand built heritage (Maori and European)
  • Overview of architectural/historical/archaeological interests in investigating and recording buildings
  • Academic and legislative context
  • Current approaches to buildings archaeology in New Zealand: issues and opportunities
  • Context of heritage management more broadly from the perspective of working at a local council overseeing the identification, management and advocacy of the city's built heritage

Following the lecture, there will be a networking reception.

Featured presenters: Eva Forster-Garbutt (Senior Heritage Advisor - Wellington City Council) is a recipient of a Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Fellowship. This involves a research trip to the UK to spend some time with researchers, heritage professionals and consultants in the field of buildings archaeology outside of New Zealand to gather ideas on how the buildings archaeology process could be improved in New Zealand and made more practical and the resulting information and interpretation more useful. Eva is visiting in her capacity of a Fellow and not in a professional capacity representing her employer.
