The plan has reviewed historical records and utilised innovative new mapping technologies to identify places where historical archaeological sites are likely to survive beneath the modern city. This talk will present the results of the study and explain why Ballarat’s 19th century archaeology is likely to survive in remarkable condition beneath parts of the modern city. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jeremy Smith is Heritage Victoria’s Principal Archaeologist\, and is an Honorary Research Fellow in Classics & Archaeology at the University of Melbourne.
