Social Welfare Institutions
The rise of industrialization was accompanied by a new institutional management regime for the sick, criminal, and unproductive. From the late eighteenth century onwards, an increasingly diverse array of social welfare institutions were established to confine, treat, and relocate those deemed vulnerable or dangerous to civic society. Drawing from European and North American case studies, this chapter outlines the proliferation of monumental archi…
Food Storage
Various technologies evolved over the industrial era to enable the hygienic storage of mass-produced food and beverages. A wide range of metal, ceramic, and glass containers were developed, distributed, and discarded on historic sites across the world. This chapter outlines the primary diagnostic features of artefacts associated with the food storage industries. These material characteristics may be used to determine the original contents, date o…
Ceramic Production
Representing the largest class of artefacts recovered from post-medieval and historic sites, ceramics play a central role in the archaeology of industrialized societies. This chapter outlines the main production technologies involved in the creation of ceramic domestic wares and clay smoking pipes. It demonstrates how changes in fabric type and manufacture technologies reflected a broader shift from craft-based local production and distribution n…
The Oxford Handbook of Industrial Archaeology
Representing the first substantial English-language text on industrial archaeology in a decade, this volume comes at a time when the global impact of industrialization is being reassessed in terms of its legacy of climate change, mechanization, urbanization, the forced migration of peoples, particularly enslaved Africans, and labour relations. Critical debates around the beginning of a new geological era—the Anthropocene—have emerged over the las…

Landscapes of Punishment and Resistance
In January 1851, a letter was intercepted en route to Jane Walker, an inmate of the women’s prison establishment at Ross, Van Diemen’s Land. When considered together, the presence of this letter and the reaction of the institutional authorities demonstrate overlapping landscapes of penal domination and inmate resistance that operated to create this site. Why was Jane denied access to her relatives outside the perimeter wall of the prison? Who enj…
Contemporary Archaeology and the City
Over the last two decades, our discipline has witnessed the growth of research explicitly focused upon later historic and living societies. These two edited volumes demonstrate how archaeological a

Horizons beyond the Perimeter Wall
Ghosts of Sorrow, Sin and Crime
Established as a British imperial penal colony, Van Diemen’s Land received approximately 75,000 convicts before cessation of convict transportation in 1853. A vast network of penal stations and institutions were created to accommodate, employ, administer, and discipline these exiled felons. Popular interpretations of Australia’s convict past highlight dynamics of shame, avoidance and active obliteration that characterized Australia’s relationship…
On the Edge of Purgatory
Like capitalism, world religions or indeed natural selection, the phenomena of colonialism may appear as a monolithic force, defined by unified goals and a central purpose. And yet, as has been inc
From Knowing into Telling
Enmeshed inscriptions
Prison graffiti has been traditionally defined as markings created by inmates on the architectural fabric of the institutional site. However, if we instead define the phenomena as an inscription created by a convict upon an element of their material world, a new range of meaningful ‘hidden transcripts’ may be explored through objects ranging from cotton fabric and copper coins to the more familiar limewash, paint, stone, wood and brick. This pape…

Intimate Encounters
Although archaeological studies of the historic past have long explored the dynamics of European colonialism, broader issues of sexuality, embodiment, commemoration, reproduction, and sensuality have only recently become acknowledged as essential components of the “imperial project.” How can we better appreciate the material implications of human sexuality when we come to interpret these complex colonial worlds? Ranging from anticipated and pleas…
Playthings
Despite a growing enthusiasm for research on the material aspects of social identities and subjectivities in the discipline of archaeology, relatively few publications have considered the age-related dimensions of human life. And yet, we know logically that children were not only frequently present within our study sites, but often played a significant role in the actual deposition of the material remains we recover, analyse and interpret. This c…

The Archaeology of Colonialism
This volume examines human sexuality as an intrinsic element in the interpretation of complex colonial societies. While archaeological studies of the historic past have explored the dynamics of European colonialism, such work has largely ignored broader issues of sexuality, embodiment, commemoration, reproduction and sensuality. Recently, however, scholars have begun to recognize these issues as essential components of colonization and imperialis…

‘You Knew Where You Were’
The Alderley Sandhills Project was designed to illuminate the transformative roles of industrialisation and de-industrialisation on the working households of rural England. By focusing on a domestic site, we sought to examine how the men, women and children of this ordinary working neighbourhood bothmaintained and improved their conditions of everyday life in the face of the rapid socioeconomic revolutions of the 18thto 20th centuries.

The archaeology of institutional confinement
The Archaeology of Plural and Changing Identities
"Questions of identity have plagued the field of archaeology since its earliest antiquarian origins. The ability to discover, recover, or uncover a past culture required the assumption of a direct relationship between its material remains and social identity. Artifacts and architectural features alike have been conceptualized as "signatures" or "representations" of specific cultures – from the "Beaker People" of the European Neolithic to the "Geo…
Doing trade
Within all penal institutions, networks of black market exchange circulate luxuries throughout the inmate population. Both material objects and sexual encounters fuel these systems of illicit barter. This paper presents some archaeological implications of such exchange. Exploring documentary and material records of the Ross Female Factory, a nineteenth-century Australian colonial prison for transported British female convicts, I relate the differ…

Prisoner of His Majesty
As institutions established to administer the penal exile of British imperial subjects, the historic gaols of Australia and Ireland are linked by a painful legacy of involuntary transportation. Today, outstanding examples of these prisons are conserved and publicly presented as monuments of national significance. This paper considers material meanings associated with these unusual heritage places. Given their explicit historic association with Br…
Legacy of the 'Fatal Shore
Why does the theme of 'confinement' link historic-period heritage places across the continent of Australia? This article explores incarceration as not only a dominant theme in heritage-listed and archaeological sites from post-contact Australia, but also as a central underlying element in both Anglo-Australians' sense of ambiguous difference from their European origins, and indigenous Australians' painful experiences of engagement with the state.…

To enshrine their spirits in the world Heritage and grief at Port Arthur, Tasmania
In April 1996, a single gunman killed 35 people at Port Arthur, Tasmania. A majority of these murders occurred inside the Broad Arrow Cafe, a structure related to commercial and tourist operations at this historic site. This paper considers the politics of heritage management for a place of recent human tragedy. How do Australians cope with this tragic site as survivors, as witnesses, as heritage managers, as local residents, as sympathetic natio…

Historical archaeology and industrialisation
INTRODUCTION Britain was the first industrial nation. The impact of this early phase of industrialisation was far reaching and laid the foundations for the emergence of modern consumer society. Although recent scholarship has suggested that the origins of many modern industrial processes may lie in the medieval or early post-medieval period, the clustering of technological innovations that occurred in Britain between the mid-eighteenth and mid-ni…
Safe' genders
As historical archaeology has expanded from its origins in the 'settler nations' of the post-colonial world, an increasing number of European scholars have argued for a radical reorientation of the subfield. But if historical archaeology is to be accepted as the 'archaeology of literate societies', the profound interdisciplinarity of the subject must be embraced. While the presence of written documents can indeed be a luxury, providing for richer…
