Prepared for Deal Corporation, the Heritage Council of Victoria and the Chinese Museum, Melbourne.The Cohen Place excavation in China Town was undertaken in 1998 and 1999, with a report completed in 2002. It began as a small test excavation funded by the developer and due to the potential significance of the site, grew into a full scale excavation that was also funded by the Heritage Council and the Chinese Museum.A large team of archaeologists and student volunteers assisted with the excavations, which attracted visits from many school groups and is now considered one of the most important excavations to have been undertaken in Melbourne.A collection of the artefacts recovered from the site are displayed within the foyer of the hotel now standing on the site.“Thousands of historic artefacts and significant architectural remains were excavated.... They gave us an insight into the lives of the nineteenth century residents of Cohen Place - of children playing, women sewing, educating themselves, taking pride in their appearance and in their homes. Artefacts included jacks, marbles, china dolls with their own tiny tea sets and baths, and matching sets of quality blue and white china tableware. Chinese residents preferred traditional Chinese pale green/blue celadon wares.” - Heritage Victoria Website 2012> Aboriginal Archaeology projectsCHMP# 12279 - Childcare Centre and Residential Development, Maddingley near Bacchus Marsh - ADGR Investments.This CHMP was approved by the Wadawurrung Aboriginal Corporation (the Registered Aboriginal Party for the area).The presence of a highly significant site within the activity area necessitated focused research and sensitive consultation.
