Historical Archaeology in the news.

Beneath netball courts in Melbourne's inner suburbs lies one of Victoria's most significant archaeological sites Yarra Bend Lunatic Asylum was demolished and buried in the 1920s but archaeologists now believe more of it still exists beneath the surface than they previously thought.

The Sydney Historical Archaeological Practitioners Workshop was held on Friday 17 May, marking the the start of National Archaeology Week 2024. It was great to find out what Sydney archaeologists have been up to with presentations on a number of interesting projects.

SHAP Workshop 2024 was hosted by AMBS Ecology & Heritage at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Pyrmont, Sydney.
