I was intrigued to read in last week’s “Bendigo’s New Landmark” liftout feature in the Bendigo Advertiser celebrating the opening of 10-16 Forest Street, that it was built on one of the most important archaeological sites excavated on the Victorian goldfields.The centre pages of the feature illustrated some of the many artefacts recovered.The article on the page stated that “this building project also delivered a comprehensive and valuable insight into Bendigo life”.The question I ask is to whom did it deliver that insight?Probably like many, I watched the archaeologists at work and read about the excavation in the Bendigo Advertiser. That and this brief overview are the only results of the excavation that I’ve seen. Where are the artefacts now?Will they be displayed somewhere so that Bendigonians can view this remarkable find?Are there plans to tell the story it related to and is there somewhere we can hear it?What use is a heritage investigation that reveals such an important story if the only people privy to the telling are archaeologists and commissioning developers?Could we ordinary people hear it too?HELEN CRONIN,California Gully
