Between 1990 and 1992, a group of archaeologists mapped the remains
of the settlement on the Moorabool and excavated four houses there.
Like the miners, they were drawn to the site by the desire to dig
for treasure. In Dolly s Creek, Susan Lawrence tells the story both
of their archaeological research and of the community they
uncovered. Dolly s Creek uses landscape, material objects and
documents to gain an understanding of the nature of the diggings
community and of the ways in which it changed as the gold rush
passed. Susan Lawrence's imaginative, exploratory approach invites
us to engage in the clue-finding, jigsaw-like quality of the
archaeological hunt. This is a beautifully written book-historical
ethnography at its best.
