Paul Taçon wins the Rhys Jones Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Australian Archaeology

Congratuations to UPC author Paul S. C. Taçon who was awarded the Rhys Jones Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Australian Archaeology at the 2016 Australian Archaeological Association annual meeting!

"The award, the most coveted of the Australian Archaeological Association, has special significance for Professor Taçon. It was Rhys Jones, one of Australia’s leading archaeologists of the time, who gave Professor Taçon his first taste of Australian rock art more than three decades earlier." (Griffith University News)

We are thrilled to have the opportunity to publish a small peice of Prof. Taçon's signficant work.
