|
Michael completed his Bachelor of Archaeology degree at La Trobe University and intends to pursue further study in the fields of architecture and built heritage. In his five years at CWHC, Michael has gained significant experience working on both Indigenous and historical sites located all over Victoria spanning as far north as the Victoria/NSW border, along the southern coast and as far west as Ballarat.
Michael has been a part of numerous Indigenous excavations and salvages, has undertaken the cataloguing of Indigenous artefact collections from the Drysdale region within Victoria and in 2023 was a teaching assistant for University of Melbourne’s Interpreting Material Culture study unit within the Archaeology Programme.
In addition to his Indigenous archaeology work, Michael has participated in the processing and cataloguing of historical artefacts from Bendigo and from sites within Melbourne’s CBD. His specialities are building materials and small finds, such as coins and buttons. Michael presented a poster on nail typology and evolution at the 2021 ASHA conference and in 2023 co-presented at Button Fest on different button types found on Australian archaeological sites.
One of Michael’s most memorable archaeology experiences was going to Myanmar in 2019 on a sustainable archaeology and heritage management course. Michael is interested in cars, the Collingwood football club and horror movies.
