Abstract

Sarah Collins used a people-centred approach to investigate Smithfield township. She found a multicultural and multidenominational community driven by commercial activities and enmeshed with the wider social landscape of nineteenth century colonial processes. The study furnishes a new perspective on the historical archaeology of early European settlement in Australia.
