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.
