Ian Lilley chats with Erin Hogg about his early career as an archaeologist and his extensive experience in community-based cultural heritage management and research, how the field has changed, and the need to acknowledge how the conduct of international organizations effects the work of archaeologists. 

"Getting everyone more or less on the same page, internationally, is a big job."

He has worked in Australasia and Indo-Pacific archaeology and cultural heritage management for over 30 years. His research interests include migration and trade, social identity, archaeological ethics, and the role of archaeology and cultural heritage in contemporary society.
