philosophy during the span of convict transportation.

KAVHA has rescarch potential to yicld information on pre-European
Polynesian culture, exploration and scttlement patterns.

KAVHA demonstrates the principal characteristics of a longstanding penal
settlement in its physical layout, governance arrangements, the management
and control of convicts, and the functional arrangements associated with
settlement.

It has substantial ruins, standing structures and archacological sub-surface
remains related to its operation as a place of primary incarecration and carly
settlement, as a place of secondary punishment and finally as a place spanning
both incarecration and secondary punishment.

The 1829 Government House, onc of the carlicst and most intact remaining
government housc buildings in Australia, is positioncd prominently on Dove
Hill with commanding views of the military precinct, colonial administration,
convict quarters, farmland and the picr. The military precinct on Quality Row
contains two cxtant barracks complexes: the Old Military Barracks and
officers quarters constructed between 1829-1834 surrounded by high walls
giving it an appearance of a military fortress; and the New Military Barracks
commenced in 1836 which follows a similar fortress-like design. The
Commissariat Store (now All Saints Church) (1835) is the finest remaining
colonial (pre 1850) military commissariat store in Australia. The Old Military
Barracks, together with the Commissariat Store and the New Military
Barracks, form a group of buildings which is the most substantial military
barracks complex in Australia dating from the 1830s. The military complexes
are positioned in view of the convict precinct located closer to the water and at
a lower clevation to optimise surveillance. Ninc houses in Quality Row built
from 1832-47 provided quarters for military and civil officers.

The archacological remains of the two convict gaols, the perimeter walls and
archacological remains of the Prisoncrs' Barracks (1828-48) with the
Protestant Chapel, show the development of penal philosophics with the
original gaol built for barrack type accommodation while the extant remains of
the New Prison and its perimeter walls (1836-40, 1845-57) provides a rare
representation of a radial design. The role of harsh labour as punishment is
evident in the archacological remains of the blacksmith's shop (1846); lumber
yard; watcr mill; the crankmill (1827-38), the remains of the only known
human powered crankmill built in Australia before 1850; the salt house
(1847); the windmill base (1842-43); lime kilns; the landing picr (1839-47)
and sca wall, two of the carlicst remaining large scale cnginccring works in
Australia. The possibility of reform is evident in the Protestant and Catholic
clergyman's quarters.
