Talk: Known, Unknowns
The Archaeology of the
Devonshire Street Cemetery
What happened when a cemetery exhumed in 1901 was impacted on by modern redevelopment? This is the case of the Devonshire Street Cemetery which occupied a sand ridge from 1819 to 1901. After 1901 the graves were exhumed and reburied, the sand ridge was flattened and Central Station was constructed on the site. From 2018, redevelopment of Sydney’s public transport impacted on the location of the Cemetery. But was anyone left? Interestingly, and at times controversially, the answer was yes!
Dr Iain Stuart, who was the Excavation Director on the two projects that impacted the Cemetery site, will give a talk for Archaeology week on the history of the Devonshire Street Cemetery, outline the archaeological programs that were undertaken and discuss some of the results of the work.
BOOK THE TALK - Wednesday, May 18, 2022, 6.30 to 7.30pm

Heritage for construction and public works
We’ve been working with the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia to create an entry-level training course on how heritage fits into rail, construction, and public works projects. This course is perfect if you are a public works engineer, a civil engineer or project manager. We developed the course for people who are new to the sector, have been in the sector for a while and need a refresher, or just want to learn best practice and get some hints and tips. The course is facilitated by Artefact consultants and includes topics like the value of heritage, processes and permits, reports and unexpected finds procedures.
