Shipwrecks of the Roaring Forties Other events...
A public lecture by Corioli Souter, Curator, Department of Maritime Archaeology, Western Australian Museum and Adjunct Lecturer in Archaeology, The University of Western Australia.

Shipwrecks of the Roaring Forties is an Australia Research Council (ARC) funded project that is making a significant contribution to our understanding of Europeans active in the Indian Ocean and our region during the 17th and 18th centuries through the unique window into the past provided by these maritime archaeological sites. The project is led by UWA's Associate Professor of Archaeology Alistair Paterson in partnership with researchers from the Western Australia Museum and other national and international partners.

This lecture will give an overview of the archaeological discoveries with a special focus on the 2015 excavations of the Batavia related sites.

This lecture is presented by the UWA Institute of Advanced Studies and the Art Gallery of Western Australia and is part of a special lecture series being held in conjunction with the 'Treasure Ships: Art in the Age of Spices' Exhibition.

The exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Art Gallery of South Australia and is on display at the Art Gallery of Western Australia from 10 October 2015 - 31 January 2016.
