Southern Heritage Trust: Visions for Dunedin talk - Totally Georgeous Archaeology: What Lies Beneath Dunedin’s Main Street? Part 1

Totally Georgeous Archaeology: What Lies Beneath Dunedin’s Main Street? 

With a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade under way in Dunedin’s central city, have you ever wondered what we are finding as we dig down through the layers? Are the rumours of tunnels under the streets true? How are we avoiding delays when archaeological remains are found? And what do they tell us about the history of Ōtepoti Dunedin?

• India Gillespie (NZ Heritage Properties Ltd)     

The George Street Retail Quarter Project is one of the biggest infrastructure projects the city has embarked on for years. Find out about the many exciting finds already uncovered beneath the surface of the very visible road works and the rehabilitation of the heritage infrastructure to keep servicing the city for another 50-100 years.
