Lynton: convicts, landscape and colonisation strategies in midwest Western Australia

چکیده
Historical and archaeological studies of Australian convictism have embraced a variety of themes and directions, from exploration of the ideologies and mechanisms of punishment and reform (e.g. Kerr 1984, 1988), to investigations of convicts as part of broader colonizing strategies and a means of creating industrial workforces (e.g. Blair and Claoué-Long 1993). It is increasingly apparent that there were multiple ‘convict systems’ within Australia, manifesting in different forms over time and in different places as a result of changing imperial ideologies, colonial needs, and perceptions of how unfree labour either contributed to or compromised the economic, social and moral fabric of the British colonies and the empire as a whole. Consequently, convictism was multilayered and at any one time embraced a range of practices, trajectories and meanings, suggesting that our archaeological investigations also need to follow diverse threads.
