Overview

Background

Caiti D'Gluyas is a Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Queensland and a researcher in archaeology, cultural heritage and history. In Australia her work examines the impacts and outcomes of British colonisation on people in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, particularly encompassing convictism and expressions of capitalism and ideology at different scales, from individuals to landscapes. Caiti has recently also been contributing to research on Bronze Age cultural and environmental change on the Arabian Peninsula in southwest Asia. She is also interested in environmental history, Indigenous experiences of the colonial world, landscape archaeology, historical studies of young people, more-than-human approaches, archaeological archives and data management, archaeological theory and methods, spatial analysis, Georgian period artefacts, and archaeological applications of GIS.

With more than 12 years practical experience on archaeological investigations, Caiti has worked on a variety of archaeological projects across Australia and further afield in the United Arab Emirates and Norfolk Island, in both research and industry settings. She worked for a decade in cultural heritage management and commercial archaeology, bringing key skills in project management, technical report writing and excavation to her current work. She maintains connections to the heritage management sector, in particular, through the synthesis of archaeological legacy projects from across colonial Australia. Caiti has prior experience teaching practical field skills, artefact analysis and introductory archaeology courses and currently teaches ARCS2050 Historical Archaeology and ARCS3118 Managing Cultural Heritage.

Qualifications

  • Doctor of Philosophy of Humanities, University of New England Australia

Research interests

  • Spatial analysis

    Caiti has extensive experience in historical GIS, artefact spatial analysis and landscape archaeology. She combines these skills to consider the role of mapping and place in the past and place-making in past and present society. Her focus is on incorporating material culture and more-than-human approaches to map the flow of people, things and ideas across space.

  • Material expressions of capitalism

    Incorporating artefact analysis, legacy archaeological data and historical archaeological landscapes, Caiti is developing research projects across Australia that explore the ways that 'things' help us understand ideology, social relations, labour and economic outcomes in the modern world.

  • Arabian Bronze Age climate, mobility and settlement patterns

    Recent work in the United Arab Emirates has created opportunities to collaborate on exploring the intersection of climate, mobility and settlement patterns in this region. Through ongoing excavations, Caiti is interested in contributing to wider debates around the archaeological investigation of human responses to climate across the second millennium BCE.

  • Historical archaeologies of marginalised groups

    Caiti's doctoral research on a convict prison for youth has led to a strong interest in the archaeologies of marginalised groups, including women, children, First Nations people and migrants across colonial Australia. She is interested in the ways that archaeological evidence in particular contributes to research and also the role of archaeological theory in interpreting diverse experiences of the past.
