Abstract

This paper presents an interdisciplinary project that uses archaeological and historical sources to explore the formation of a penal landscape in the Australian colonial context. The project focuses on the convict-period legacy of the Tasman Peninsula (Tasmania, Australia), in particular the former penal station of Port Arthur (1830–1877). The research utilises three exceptional data series to examine the impact of convict labour on landscape and the convict body: the archaeological record of the Tasman Peninsula, the life course data of the convicts and the administrative record generated by decades of convict labour management. Through these, the research seeks to demonstrate how changing ideologies affected the processes and outcomes of convict labour and its products, as well as how the landscapes we see today were formed and developed in response to a complex interplay of multi-scalar penological and economic influences. Areas of inquiry: Australian convict archaeology and history. The archaeology and history of Australian convict labour management. The archaeology and history of the Tasman Peninsula.

生产和惩罚的景观:澳大利亚背景下的罪犯劳动

本文提出了一个跨学科项目，利用考古和历史资料来探索澳大利亚殖民背景下刑罚景观的形成。该项目重点关注塔斯曼半岛（澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚州）的罪犯时期遗产，特别是亚瑟港（1830–1877）的前刑罚站。该研究利用三个特殊的数据系列来研究罪犯劳动对景观和罪犯身体的影响：塔斯曼半岛的考古记录、罪犯的生命历程数据以及几十年罪犯劳动管理产生的行政记录。通过这些，该研究试图证明不断变化的意识形态如何影响罪犯劳动及其产品的过程和结果，以及我们今天看到的景观是如何在多尺度的刑罚和经济影响的复杂相互作用下形成和发展的。调查领域：澳大利亚罪犯考古和历史。澳大利亚罪犯劳动管理的考古学和历史。塔斯曼半岛的考古学和历史。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Social Archaeology is a fully peer reviewed international journal that promotes interdisciplinary research focused on social approaches in archaeology, opening up new debates and areas of exploration. It engages with and contributes to theoretical developments from other related disciplines such as feminism, queer theory, postcolonialism, social geography, literary theory, politics, anthropology, cognitive studies and behavioural science. It is explicitly global in outlook with temporal parameters from prehistory to recent periods. As well as promoting innovative social interpretations of the past, it also encourages an exploration of contemporary politics and heritage issues.
