The Excavation of a Brick Barrel-drain at Parramatta, N.S.W. (1983)
One of the most important contributions that can be made by historical archaeology is to throw light on aspects of the past neglected by most historians.

Yet the development of drainage systems of one sort or another was extremely important to the occupants of Australia's towns and cities during the 19th century. In the following paper Edward Higginbotham, a consultant archaeologist in Sydney, discusses his excavation of...
