This project aims to investigate how historical mining activities in Victoria have left a toxic legacy of heavy metals in soil and water. By integrating approaches from historical archaeology, environmental humanities, and the physical sciences the project seeks to generate novel datasets that document the spatial distribution of contaminants and novel ways of understanding mining heritage. Anticipated outcomes include new knowledge about pre-industrial background levels of heavy metals in the environment, more efficient and targeted remediation of former mine sites, and improved dialogue between heritage and environmental managers. This promises significant benefits for future land and water management and approaches to mining heritage.

该项目旨在调查维多利亚历史上的采矿活动如何在土壤和水中留下重金属有毒残留物。通过整合历史考古学，环境人文学和物理科学的方法，该项目旨在生成新的数据集，记录污染物的空间分布和理解采矿遗产的新方法。预期成果包括对工业化前环境中重金属的本底水平有了新的认识，对以前的矿区进行更有效和有针对性的补救，以及改善遗产管理人员和环境管理人员之间的对话。这将为今后的土地和水管理以及采矿遗产的处理带来重大利益。
