The Big Dig Archaeology Education Centre sits beneath an elevated youth hostel, identifiable by the structural steel trusses that lift the entire building above the ground. This site, located between Cumberland and Gloucester Streets in The Rocks, reveals the stone foundations of more than forty convict-era houses and shops. Excavations beginning in nineteen ninety-four uncovered over a million artifacts here, offering evidence of Sydney's earliest colonial life dating back to seventeen ninety-five.
