| Title: | Steel River Estate, Mayfield West, NSW. Excavation Report / Prepared by ecological Australia for Steel River Estate Pty Ltd |
| metadata.dc.contributor.corpauthor: | Prepared by ecological Australia for Steel River Estate Pty Ltd |
| Description: | The surviving archaeological evidence comprised of the stone and concrete foundations of the
Superintendent's house and later phases of its conversion to an, orphanage. The soil profile suggests the
excavated area was undisturbed prior to the construction of the Superintendent's house. There was no
evidence of the first farm house, mill or early occupation deposits. Occupation deposits relating to the AA
Co. phase of occupation and orphanage were not located during this excavation. The almost complete
removal of the former buildings in the study area and the paucity of artefacts suggests systematic and
concentrated demolition and removal of materials and levelling of the site for use by BHP in the 1970s.
The site does not contain any additional information about the use and development of the area. The
archaeological remains still present on the site are assessed as having no significance and it is unlikely
that any further significant archaeological features or deposits will be present on the site. Final version. |
