Hi David,

I'm working on archaeology of the "Dutch" outside the Low Countries,
both in colonized and trading partner contexts (I'm a part/time research
student at York).  Many of those colonies were in the Indian Ocean.

I'm looking at a specific building technique ('muurankers' - a way of
'stapling' a building together), and other material culture.

I've not done any serious thinking about what I might write for the SHA
conference..... possibly concentrating on somewhere in the Indian Ocean,
but probably global in scope.

With best wishes,

Pat
