TitleIndustrial Archaeology of the Bremer AreaDate Created25th October 2022Program Chasing Our Past At HomePresenterSerena LoveHostMelanie RushModeratorDeannah ViethAcknowledgementEverick FoundationCity & StateIpswich, QueenslandDescriptionJoin Dr Serena Love as she discusses the archaeological excavations at Bremer Mills and the recent investigations at Town Marie.

Both Town Marie and Bremer Mills are early industrial site complexes along the Bremer River in Ipswich, dating to the late 1840's and early 1850's. These sites had a variety of industries, but specifically they both had boiling down works to recover the tallow from sheep and cattle carcasses. These sites are largely known from historic resources but this presentation will highlight the results from archaeological excavations which included multiple kilograms of animal bones, ceramics, brick and glass fragments, and architectural features.

Serena is the Principal Research Archaeologist for the Everick Foundation, with an extensive research profile and previous teaching experience as an archaeology lecturer at numerous tertiary institutions, including the University of Queensland. She has specialisations in geoarchaeology and landscape and environmental archaeology. Serena earned a PhD from Stanford University in 2010 and earned a MSc from University of Sheffield in 1998.

She has worked in Turkey, Egypt, Israel, and Iraq before moving to Australia in 2012. Currently, Serena works closely with the Wulli Wulli, Barada Barna and Butchulla Peoples as a technical advisor and cultural heritage consultant, and regularly undertakes field survey, excavation, and research for sites and projects across Queensland. In addition to her extensive field and research experience, Serena’s teaching experience extends beyond university teaching to community engagement and science communication programs such as “Pint of Science”, Professional Development sessions for teachers of history and science, museum presentations, and even television and radio guest appearances.Asset TypeWebinar / Talk - MP4Music, Audio and Video (Trove mapping field)lectureCopyright NoticeThis licence lets you download, redistribute, translate, and remix the work, for NON-COMMERCIAL purposes only.
