Bowdler was appointed Professor of Archaeology at the University of Western Australia in 1983, where her research covered Australian Indigenous archaeology, and in particular Shark Bay, Tasmania[2] and coastal New South Wales, known as part of New England, as well as the pre-neolithic archaeology of East and Southeast Asia.[3] She was at various times a tutor of prehistory at the University of Papua New Guinea, a research scholar with the Department of Prehistory Research, School of Pacific Studies at the Australian National University, lecturer in archaeology at the University of New England, Aboriginal sites consultant for the Forestry Commission of New South Wales and in private practice in Sydney, and professor of archaeology at the University of Western Australia. From 2008, Bowdler was an emeritus professor/honorary research fellow in archaeology, and an honorary senior research fellow in the School of Music, at UWA.[4]
As a member of the Australian Museum in 1964, she documented the Aboriginal burial site in the Balls Head rock shelter,[5] and has written extensively on the Aboriginal ceremonial Bora rings.[6]
In 2008, a special volume of the journal Australian Archaeology was published in Bowdler's honour.
