About CAS Seminars
|
The CAS seminar Series is held throughout the year with the aim of promoting the research of professionals working in the region, or research about the region. A wide variety of seminars have been held over the years, presented by local aboriginal elders, consultants, independent researchers, and academics.
Recordings of some of the seminars are provided by the NMA through their Audio on demand feature HERE. You can find Dr Josephine Flood talking on the cultural riches of ancient south-east Australia, Ngunawal elder Wally Bell providing an aboriginal perspective on archaeology, Dr. Amy Way describing the archaeology of Lake George, Dr. Dougald O'Reilly sharing insights from the Plain of Jars in Laos and more!
