A nineteenth-century hay rope from Hobart, Tasmania
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-22, 02:30 authored by Don RansonIn 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.
