Research Project
Researchers: Dr Pam Watson (Principal investigator)
Full description
This project excavated, displayed and interpreted the archaeological remains of a mid nineteenth-century flour mill, house and store established by James McLean, a founding pioneer of Armidale. The related group of buildings had long disappeared from view and public memory in Armidale. The site was excavated in 2001 and 2002 prior to its destruction by a supermarket development.
The project represents co-operation between the UNE Heritage Futures Research Centre, Armidale Dumaresq Council, the NSW Heritage Office (now the Heritage Branch of the Office of Environment and Heritage) and New England Properties Pty. Ltd.
This project contributed to the New England Archaeology: Sites collection (Record No. S77, 2010) held by the Heritage Futures Research Centre, University of New England.
