Cleanliness is Next to Godliness: The Influence of Victorian Middle-Class Values on Health Concerns in Nineteenth-Century Parramatta, NSW

Abstract

This dataset is a single database table containing the 7258 entries for the 22,174 artefacts recorded for 8 archaeological sites used in my research. This data was generated by a systematic cataloguing process and recorded in a database table designed for this research. The table affords the possibility to record 58 fields of locational, quantitative and descriptive information on each entry. Locational data is hierarchical information ranging from actual street address to context data. Quantitative data consists of artefact physical attributes, including counts, weights and measurements. Descriptive data includes manufacture techniques, aesthetic attributes and use association.
