Artist in Residence
Many of the projects visual arts collaborations are the results of the work of Professor Diana Wood Conroy of the Faculty of Creative Arts at the University of Wollongong. Diana has served as the artist-in-residence for the project since its inception and has brought a number of visual and creative artists to explore the project and the concepts of archaeology from a different approach. Like the archaeological investigations, some of the cultural activities have received funding from the Australian research Council.
