Abstract

[In this chapter we review of previous research and an outline of our methodology which has underwritten a new account of the archaeology of Sydney’s First Government House (FGH), a site of great national and international significance. Following a discussion of the formation processes and sequence of construction at FGH, we provide two studies of different aspects of its archaeology: first, the tablewares and dining equipage of Governors King and Macquarie, and, second, the unusual architectural history of the guard house, built c.1812 and partially demolished in 1838.]
