Dr Damian Evans’ research interests include the archaeology of early historic Southeast Asia, remote sensing applications in archaeology (radar imagery in particular), geographic information science, issues of cartographic representation and the history of mapping in archaeology, the urban context of monumental remains, the role of co-operative water management systems in the rise and fall of complex societies, spatial analysis and theory in archaeology and anthropology.
Dr Evans joined the staff of the Archaeological Computing Laboratory (ACL) in 2001, and now holds an Australian Research Council Postdoctoral Fellowship (2008-2010). Funded projects include a program of mapping the urban context of several Hindu-Budhhist temple complexes in Cambodia (Banteay Chmar, Angkor, Preah Khan of Kompong Svay, Beng Melea, Sambor Prei Kuk, Koh Ker) using remote sensing and ground-based investigations, with a view to conducting a regional comparative study of early settlements and hydraulic works. Also active within the Greater Angkor Project, a multinational research program investigating the decline of Angkor, and numerous other ACL-related projects within the University to do with web mapping, data management, spatial analysis and remote sensing research.
