>    Hi, I'm currently studying a garden that was probably first created in

>destroyed in the  early 1950s when the level of the nearby lake was raised
>for hydroelectric  purposes.  The level of said lake fell significantly
>late last year,  enabling me to map the site (associated with a farm
>house).  Very little  work has been done in the area of garden archaeology
>in NZ and I was wondering  if anyone could point me in the direction of
>some useful articles, papers, etc,  particularly any that focus on
>'ordinary' gardens.  I'm interested in the  different approaches that
>people have taken to the analysis of gardens.   Thanks, Katharine
