Speakers

Dr Jon Prangnell, a Reader in Historical Archaeology and Cultural Heritage in the School of Social Science, The University of Queensland, where he is also Deputy Head of School and Chief Examiner. Dr Prangnell presents a fascinating insight into the historical archaeology of the development of southeast Queensland from the earliest convict times through to the middle of the twentieth century. He also examines the role various excavations have played in his own career and the development of his broader understandings of the heritage and archaeology of Ipswich and surrounds.
