  • A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2
    A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2 INTRODUCTION 0.01 The recent gift to my wife of a cameo brooch, said to have been a present from Captain Thomas Rowley to his bride, led to my making enquiries about my wife's great great great grandfather. Many of the stories which accompanied the gift were subsequently found to have little foundation but my enquiries produced much information which may prove of sufficient interest to others to justify my writing this tale of a man who played no small part in the establishment of the Colony of New South Wales. 0.02 In consequence, this Cameo of CAPTAIN THOMAS ROWLEY ( ? - 1806) is dedicated to the memory of his son THOMAS ROWLEY (1794 - 1862) his grandson HORATIO NELSON ROWLEY (1831 – 1887) his great grand-daughter ELIZA SMITH (nee ROWLEY) (1868 - 1921) his great great grandson LESLIE JOHN SMITH (1891 - 1944) and is written for the information of his great great great grand-daughter, my wife NANCY RAMAGE (nee SMITH) his great great great great grandchildren, our children RAYMOND JOHN ALASTAIR RAMAGE JUDITH ANNE RAMAGE DAVID ANDREW RAMAGE and his great great great great great grand-daughters, our grand-daughters ALICIA JANE RAMAGE LAUREN ELIZABETH RAMAGE 0.03 Preface to Second Edition: I have taken advantage of a request for reprinting to correct one or two errors of fact to which my attention has been drawn by some of the many interested descendants who have contacted me following the issue of the first edition. For ease of reference, I have retained the paragraph numbering used previously.

  • Deconstructing Urban Archaeology
    AUSmALIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 8,1990 A Decade of Digging: Deconstructing Urban Archaeology JUDY BIRMINGHAM Publication of the long awaited First Government House historical archaeological study provides the opportunity for this review article, which looks back at key issues in the discipline throughout the 1980s, and forward to prospects for the 2990s. It asserts the need for dialogue between documentary and archaeological sources as being more informative than the construction of historical narrative, and identifies other conceptual and methodological problem areas which contributed to delays in the publication of results from high-profile projects. The contribution of projects developed by the Centre for Historical Archaeology at the University of Sydney is discussed in the light of these issues. The practice of characterising the history of one's in question. Identification of approaches developed in disciplines in years, decades or centuries according to archaeological projects of the late 1980s leads into the scale is always a temptation.
