Established by the Canterbury Association in 1850, Christchurch, New Zealand, has long been regarded as the most English of New Zealand's cities. This sobriquet - sometimes meant positively, but often used negatively - has been based in large part on the city's appearance. Curiously, however, the validity of this assumption has never really been tested, and certainly has not been tested using archaeological data. The volume of archaeological work in Christchurch since the 2011 earthquakes - 2000...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology of Cities: Unearthing Complexity in Urban Landscapes", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Nineteenth-century British colonial cities existed both within a global landscape of British colonialism, characterised by an exported, shared British ‘colonial’ culture, and as urban entities within which locally distinct identities and communities developed. The scale of archaeological work in...

The volume of archaeological work undertaken in Christchurch, New Zealand, since the 2011 earthquake has uncovered a vast quantity of material culture related to the 19th century settlement and development of the city. The challenge of interpreting this material has revealed several unique opportunities to examine questions of consumption and agency in the formation of the city’s material identity. In particular, the city-wide scale of archaeological excavation in combination with a site by site...

This dataset includes 4,582 obsidian artefacts matched to their natural geological source from 45 archaeological sites in New Zealand (Aotearoa). It is a compilation of a number of independent projects conducted in the laboratories of the University of Auckland and University of Otago from 2011 to 2018. It combines previously published studies, an MA thesis, a BA(Hons) dissertation, a site report, and other previously unpublished primary data. The dataset has high reuse potential for future...

Whanganui has a colourful history, from its beginnings as a planned New Zealand Company settlement in 1840, to a base for colonial warfare and then a hub for intensive farming of the surrounding hinterland by the turn of the twentieth century. The Maria Place cottages lay in the heart of this town, originally nestled between the two main stockades and subsequently becoming a part of the bustling central business district, and as such they have the potential to reveal a wealth of information...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Joseph Brittan, Charles Fooks, Dr Burrell Parkerson and John Cracroft Wilson built four very different houses in 1850s Christchurch, New Zealand. These men were part of the first wave of European settlers of the new city, and their houses differed not just from each other, but also from the majority of houses built by the first European settlers. Most new settlers built either...

War provides fertile ground for research on comestibles, because food is often the reason for conflict and is essential to an army on the move.  Archaeological excavations have been carried out at many redoubts and camps occupied during the Waikato Campaign of the New Zealand Wars, 1860s – 1870s.  Most of the excavations have been limited by the constraints of development based briefs, which has resulted in a paucity of in depth research. In this paper the model used to investigate soldiers’...

This paper explores the interplay of a post-industrial setting, heritage and archaeology following a natural disaster. The setting is Christchurch, New Zealand, and the natural disaster was the devastating earthquakes that struck the city in 2010 and 2011, leading to the demolition of thousands of buildings across the city and its surrounds, followed by extensive rebuild-related earthworks. Throughout this process, numerous archaeological sites have been found and much of the built heritage has...

In this, the first of two papers, Peter Coutts, Director of the Victoria Archaeological Survey, writes about part of his work in New Zealand some years ago. In New Zealand, as also in Australia, historical archaeologists are faced with the problem of constructing a usable data base, comprising both documentary and archaeological material, on which future research workers can draw. In the following paper this task is attempted for the New Zealand building industry in the 19th century. Other...
