Abstract:
Published alongside the exhibition Coastal Flows / Coastal Incursions with contributions from Atholl Anderson, Vicki Lenihan, Alex Monteith and Gerard O'Regan. Colour publication, (edition 250) brings together notes and memos in response each of the authors' initial encounters with the SMAG Coutts collection material. The notes are published as part of the critical stance within the project, to expose working methods and process through a de-colonised lens, in a revision of downstream and legacy effects of the archeology work undertaken by Peter Coutts towards his Phd 1968-72. (the first PhD in Archaeology in NZ).O'Regan & Anderson contribute from their archaeological and Ngāi Tahu perspectievs, whilst Lenihan draws from her perspective as a Ngāi Tahu archivist within the overall project. Alvie McCree contributed the Te Reo Māori translation for the introduction.
