In this, the second volume in the series, Peter Davies presents a nuanced
account of 19th and 20th century forest sawmill communities in southern
Victoria, Australia. Weaving together archaeological and historical data,
issues of community development, isolation, integration, and consumption
practices are sensitively explored. Not only does the volume make a
valuable contribution to the historical archaeology of rural Australia,
but it provides an extended case study for others studying the history and
archaeology of temporary work communities elsewhere in the emerging modern
world.
