B...What a shame you're in Egypt and not Australia. Beth O'Leary will be joining us in Cairns for the Extreme Heritage ICOMOS conference in July, along with a few other space archaeologists like Dirk Spennemann. <BR/><BR/>I'm very keen to see what Kim Staney Robinson has to say in the interview too. Far more science fiction writers think about space archaeology than archaeologists do, Alastair Reynolds being a good case in point, although his archaeology is so old-fashioned ....<BR/><BR/>The Space Heritage Task Force is working on a report to the World Archaeological Congress but progres is slow at the moment.Dr Space Junkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690111452618194402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530535.post-63613208088219794152007-04-05T22:32:00.000+09:302007-04-05T22:32:00.000+09:30I heard about your interview with Monocle at BLDGB...I heard about your interview with Monocle at <A HREF="http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/monocular-landscapes-unmanned-drones.html" REL="nofollow">BLDGBLOG</A>, and wrote a post myself at <A HREF="http://kuipercliff.wordpress.com/2007/04/04/space-archaeology-apollo-11-moon-landing/" REL="nofollow">KuiperCliff</A> yesterday.<BR/><BR/>As I say in my post, I'd often wondered about the archaeology of space exploration, but wasn't aware anyone was actually <I>doing</I> anything about it. I'm delighted to hear someone is, and will be paying far closer attention to it in future.

I'm most relieved! After my Kourou experience, I'd formed a healthy respect for the sensitivities of space industry. But in the end, why would they care what a lone archaeologist says?<BR/><BR/>Are you coming to Cairns for ICOMOS in July?Dr Space Junkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690111452618194402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530535.post-37471343528699480582007-03-05T19:27:00.000+10:302007-03-05T19:27:00.000+10:30Hi, Alice - do you have a reference for that story...Hi, Alice - do you have a reference for that story?<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.spacearchaeology.org" REL="nofollow">Steve</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
