Funded Activity Summary
An Archaeology of Quality of Life During Victoria’s Gold Rush. Victoria's 19th century gold rush triggered a major social and economic transformation with far ranging consequences. This project aims to investigate how individuals responded and contributed to this transformation over their life course, and how this moulded current values around quality of life in Australia. The project also aims to develop a pioneering approach that will integrate historical and archaeological evidence on individual, site, neighbourhood, city and global levels in new ways. Fresh social histories of Melbourne and Bendigo will be generated, which reinforce national identity and have implications for understanding the impact of the current mining boom on individuals.Funded Activity Details
