He has project managed several excavations and has written or co-written numerous reports and cultural heritage management plans (CHMPs). He has published and presented his research at conferences across Australia and has taken part in the preparation of historical artefact displays in Melbourne’s CBD.

Christopher Biagi achieved an H1 for his honours thesis. This thesis, titled ‘In for a penny, in for a pound’, focused on faunal analysis from a nineteenth century urban site in Melbourne’s CBD and offered a more nuanced method of site interpretation. Because of this he was awarded the R. Ian Jack award for best honours/masters thesis. He is now currently undertaking his PhD at the University of Melbourne, focusing on building upon the current methodological approaches used in Australian Faunal Analysis.
