Actually they seem to have quite a lot of patterned discard behaviour the
assemblages from which could inform on the activities above the tunnels.
However they don't seem to be collecting context information on the
extensive collection of Victorian artefacts they are cumulating.
Also the tunnels themselves are representative of a form of behaviour. Early
form of subsistence work for returning soldiers? Both Australia and America
have later examples of these types of schemes.
But why tunnels what did he plan to do with them. He was a business man, I
bet he have something in mind other than getting to the pub without getting
rained on.

Sort of strange historical archaeological project:

Not quite the "patterns of human behaviour" that is supposed to be the aim
of archaeological research... but interesting anyway...
