Professor Iain Davidson (BA, PhD Cambridge, UK). I am Emeritus Professor of Archaeology in the School of Humanities at the University of New England and have held honorary positions at Flinders University, Arizona State University, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. I worked at the University of New England for 34 years, where I helped start the Department of Prehistory and Archaeology. I was awarded a Personal Chair in 1997 which I held until retirement in 2008.
I held the Visiting Chair of Australian Studies at Harvard University in 2008-9. I was awarded the Rhys Jones Medal of the Australian Archaeological Association 2010.
I have worked on the Spanish Upper Palaeolithic, archaeology and ethnography of Northwest Queensland, Australian rock art, archaeology and heritage, and language origins.
I have contributed to discussions of interpreting animal bones as evidence of prehistoric economy, use of ethnography in archaeological interpretation, evidence of non-human primates for understanding language origins, the interface between psychology and archaeology, problems of understanding the "meaning" of prehistoric art, and the relations between stone tools and cognition, and the evolution of cognition.
I have held major grants from the Australian Research Council and its predecessors, and from AIATSIS and AINSE, to investigate Aboriginal archaeology, rock art, resource use and museum collections.
I have worked on projects with Anaiwan, Darug, Gamilaraay, Kalkadoon, Undekerebina, Wankamadla, Wonarua, Mitakoodi and Yulluna people. I completed major research projects arising from archaeological consultancy in western Sydney and in the Hunter Valley. My consultancy work has been funded by for BHP Billiton, Cyprus Gold, Department of Environment and Conservation (NPWS), Flinders University, Placer Dome, Rouse Hill Stage 1 Development, Transgrid, Western Mining, Woodside Energy Limited, Xstrata.
My publications include 4 books, 6 edited books, 48 chapters in books and more than 65 articles in refereed journals.
I am a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities, and have been a Fellow of the Collegium Budapest, Hungary. While President of the Australian Archaeological Association, I ensured the adoption of the first Code of Ethics for the Association. From 2000 to 2005 I was the foundation Director of the Heritage Futures Research Centre at the University of New England.
