Summary
This study explores how the colonial rhetoric of settlement, improvement and civilisation interacted with the physical circumstances of settlers' day-to-day lives in the urban context of Sydney between c.1825 and c.1850. It will draw upon both traditional documentary historical archives and the results of heritage management archaeological excavations.
