  • Descrição: Excavations during the early 1980s at Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney recovered over 120,000 artefacts. Approximately 90 per cent related to the post-1848 uses of the site as Sydney's female Immigration Depot, the Hyde Park Asylum for aged and destitute women, and courts and government offices. This paper presents an analysis of the small proportion relating to the convicts employed as government workers between 1819 and 1848, the first and most significant occupation of the site. The author considers the spatial distribution of identifiable convict artefacts and argues that previously unrecognised areas of in situ convict deposits survived the 1848 installation of new ceilings, which removed most of the convict period deposits. By linking the archaeological evidence with historical sources, the convict artefacts reveal new perspectives on how convicts at the Barracks resisted government regulations. Improvisation allowed them to adapt and respond to their human needs, minimise the impact of the penal system, and make-do in their situation of confinement and segregation from society.
