I've e-mailed Gary about this in more detail off-list, but
I'll note for the broader archaeological community that
recent work has indeed exploited the Heritage Victoria
collections for their research potential. At Heritage
Victoria's request, I recently generated a ceramics
reference collection out of selected collections for the use
of HV staff and consultants, and my forthcoming book
(apologies for the self-promotion) _An Archaeological Guide
to British Ceramics in Australia, 1788-1901_ draws heavily
on the HV collections for its images.

Subject: Re: The finds problem
When I get the chance, I nag Heritage Victoria about putting
out a guide to artefacts based on the mterial lodged under
their bond system. I have always felt this would be more
useful than the bottle (and other) collectors guides.
there seems to be a slowly growing acceptance of adding
fairly basis analysis on to the end of the salvage
escavation projects, so somethig like dveloper funded
artefact research seems the next logical step.
I also thought Susan Lawrence had a couple of students doing
somethig of this sort.
