Zoe Rimmer will talk about her work and research into the repatriation of Tasmanian Aboriginal cultural material.
Archaeology of the Picton Road Station
Brad Williams will outline the archaeology of the Picton Convict Road Station and what it can tell us about the convict system in Van Diemen's Land.
