Let's make this birthday one to remember.

67 years old (Born on July 15, 1957)

Happy Birthday, Claire! Like any true archaeologist, you’re not getting older—you’re simply becoming more fascinatingly historic and valuable. From uncovering ancient stories etched in rock art in Australia's Northern Territory and championing Indigenous insights in Barunga and Ngadjuri lands, your adventures make Indiana Jones look downright lazy.

You’ve kept the world inspired through two terms leading the World Archaeological Congress. After years as a beloved lecturer at Flinders University, you've become a timeless treasure yourself—though far younger than most of your research subjects! Here’s wishing you another thrilling chapter filled with discoveries that are groundbreaking (but carefully excavated).
