Overview

Audio tape with the ABC logo and title Australian Broadcasting Corporation C30 and the handwritten note Archaeological Dig Dr Alistair Paterson.
The tape is a five minute interview on ABC radio with Dr Paterson during the 2002 excavations of the Newcastle Police Stables and Newcastle Gaol.
The subjects of the interview include the heat of the dig in summer, the local interest in the dig, the methods the archaeologists used to research the site and some of the artefacts that were uncovered.
The interview then expands the scope of the conversation to include the relative ages of convict sites in the context of Australian and European history and future research areas.
The tape is in good condition and the interview was recorded to a high quality (given the constraints of the technology).
