This document documents the results of archaeological excavations conducted within the grounds of Villa Alba in Kew, by Maddy Maitri (Maitri Archaeology) in October 2002. The testing was conducted as part of the design development stage of a proposed landscape reconstruction. The broad aim of subsurface testing at Villa Alba was to determine the presence, location and depth below ground of archaeological remains relating to a number of landscape features identified in historical plans, photographs, survey field books and aerial photographs. This information would then be used by the landscape architect in the development of a design which approximates the 1880s/1890s landscape of Villa Alba.villa alba - archaeology, villa alba - garden reconstruction, 2002

The purpose of the excavations was twofold. Firstly, to conduct subsurface testing at Villa Alba to determine the presence, location and depth below ground of archaeological remains relating to a number of landscape features identified in historical plans, photographs, survey field books and aerial photographs. Secondly, soils surrounding the Villa Alba mansion, which have been found to be contaminated with lead will need to be removed up to a depth of up to 0.6 metres. Removal of deposits from the site may have an adverse impact on any archaeological remains existing below the surface. conservation studies, conservation reports, archaeological reports, villa alba museum

Archaeological testing was commissioned by the Villa Alba Museum Management Committee as part of the design development stage of a proposed landscape reconstruction. The project was directed by Maddy Atkinson in consultation with Jeremy Smith (Heritage Victoria) and James Broadbent (landscape architect for VAMI Inc). The field team consisted of undergraduates and graduate volunteers from La Trobe University, Monash University, the University of Melbourne and Holmesglen TAFE. Archaeological testing took place on Monday 8th April and Wednesday 10th 2002.villa alba - archaeology, villa alba - garden reconstruction, 2002
