Originially from New Zealand I have been at James Cook University since mid-2005. I was fortunate to study under Prof. Charles Higham at Otago University where I was able to get experience not only in prehistoric and historic archaeology in New Zealand but was also introduced to Southeast Asia. Since my first field work at the site of Nong Nor in Thailand (1991) I have been committed to working in the region. I have been lucky enough to be able to work in Thailand, Cambodia and the Lao PDR. Since 2010 I have lead a variety of student exchange projects funded by the Australian Government (initially the Asia Bound scheme and more recently the New Colombo Plan).
