Dear all,

Earlier this week Richard Gillespie lost his battle with throat cancer.

Richard was one of the doyens of radiocarbon dating in Australia and played a prominent role in using radiocarbon dating to contribute to the debate on megafauna extinction.

A tribute is planned for the next Quaternary Australia. If you have any material, I am happy to coordinate to get it included.

Cheers,

Tim

AQUA President
