The primary archaeological interests of my career have been twofold - environmental changes at the end of the Ice Age and models for computer aided multivariate analysis of archaeological data. These remain my two chief archaeological interests. But as you can see, the invitation to work in Ukraine dragged me away from those worthwhile, but relatively arcane pursuits, to a nasty awakening in the archaeology of the 20th Century. Nasty it may have been, but I have not regretted it. Even though no Australian has been found guilty by the courts of the atrocities we investigated, we have brought forward new material evidence of three particular episodes in the holocaust that no persons, even those labouring on behalf of Holocaust denial, have sought to contradict.
Material evidence is harder to contradict than memories.
