‘Father’ of archaeology dies EMERITUS Professor John Mulvaney, often described as the father of Australian archaeology, died in Canberra on 21 September at the age of 90. Mulvaney's father was a primary school teacher and the family moved from Yarram to Frankston, where John was born. All of John Mulvaney's secondary schooling was undertaken at Frankston High School where he was a contemporary of historian, Valda Cole. Both were taught by history teacher, Doris McRae. After war service John Mulvaney completed
an MA with first class honours at the University of Melbourne where he developed an interest in prehistory and archaeology. He then had a distinguished academic career at the University of Melbourne, Cambridge University, and Australian National University in prehistory and was a leader of archaeological field explorations of Aboriginal sites, including Lake Mungo where the "burial culture" was progressively dated back 42,000 years. A consequence of his work was the nomination of the Willandra Lakes as a World Heritage site. Peter McCullough
‘Favours’ denied in bid to end war WHEN the women of ancient Greece stage a sex strike for peace, sparks fly and the comedy “pops-up” everywhere in Lysistrata, a bawdy anti-war comedy by the playwright Aristophanes. The play kept audiences laughing, and squirming, for 2500 years. Lysistrata is a comic account of a woman’s mission to end the Peloponnesian War. She convinces other women to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands as a means of forcing them to negotiate a peace treaty. The play will be held 8pm, 7, 8, 13, 14 and 15 October, at McClelland College Performing Arts Centre, 26 Alexander Cr, Karingal (enter off Karingal Drive). Lysistrata has much to offer theatre-goers and society, director Emma Sproule said. “If the laughs can shake us hard enough, perhaps they might shake us free of the chains in which a patriarchal society binds us still.” Dionysus Theatre is a contemporary company, established on the Mornington Peninsula by Victorian Drama League award-winning director Emma Sproule. Performers include Braiden Barnard, Lauren Browne, Lachlan Casey-Roleff, Cian Cornish, Suzanna Crismani, Caitlin Duff, Maddison Fleming, Pearce Hessling, Victoria
Hill, Joshua Quinn, Madeline Rintoul, Michelle Robertson, Gretel Sharp, Anthony Staunton, Alarna Summers, Gemma Sylvester-Keech, Melanie Thomas, Jett Thomas, Zachary Thomas and Jakob Wilson. Tickets are $30 or $25 concession. Groups of eight or more are discounted. There’s cabaretstyle seating, BYO nibbles and drinks at bar prices. The production contains course language, sexual references and imagery and partial nudity and is not suitable for under 15 year olds. Bookings: tickethost.com.au Event=1083
