Abstract
In 1858, a slate-roofed, sandstone house was built at 68
Warwick Street in Hobart, Tasmania. During renovations in
2004, lengths of hay rope were recovered by the owners from
under the floorboards of the building’s upper landing. As
underfloor electrical and gas services had not been laid
through this part of the house, it is likely that the boards had
never been disturbed. The rope was loosely deposited along
with wood shavings but otherwise was not associated with any
other artefacts.
