The 10th World Archaeology Congress was virtually held in Darwin, Australia.
For the 10th WAC, Julian presented a virtual paper on the Origins of Amazonian cuisine based on the collective research done by the Last Journey project in Serrania la Lindosa, Colombia. The paper was part of the “Revaluating the Forager Spectrum” session, which provided a global overview of hunter-gatherer research. Moreover, He co-organised a session alongside colleagues from various Universities and Aboriginal Communities of Australia. The Session titled “Multi-Vocality in Archaeobotany: Other Perspectives on How People and Plants Interact” was intended to disrupt the status quo of the subdiscipline by centring non-Western voices and the ways that indigenous knowledge systems are interpreting archaeobotanical research. For this session, he presented new research on how archaeobotany can contribute to redressing Caribbean indigenous extinction narratives. Both sessions had a global representation and presented results of various researchers working in South America, Southeast Asia, Mesoamerica, and Australia, to name a few.
