Works

Frankhauser's Ph.D. thesis (published 1986) was a study of historical uses of the cabbage tree, an important food and fibre source in the Māori culture for at least 800 years. The Māori Television network produced a TV documentary on the subject, using his thesis as a starting point, which aired in 2004. The documentary includes an interview with Frankhauser.

In 1990 Frankhauser participated in a two-day seminar (Geochemical Methods for Dating of Rock Art) held in Canberra, which drew archeologists from three continents to evaluate the scientific soundness of the cation-ratio method of dating ancient rock art specimens. That seminar concluded that the method had significant drawbacks and should be re-evaluated as a definitive test.[1]

gollark: It's not very complex. I just never got round to writing updated ones.
gollark: Not even *I* have accurate protocol docs.
gollark: I guess I could make `set_channels` have an `open_wildcard` parameter instead.
gollark: Oh, you *can* actually send on the wildcard channel, this might be a problem.
gollark: Anyway, if you have useful protocol change ideas please submit them somewhere so I can maybe implement them.
