Abstract

Recent work in Melbourne, including the papers in this volume, has shed new light on the archaeology of this major nineteenth-century urban center. But how does Melbourne compare to other important contemporary cities, particularly those outside the British Empire? This paper compares BMarvellous Melbourne^ against the BParis of South America,^ Buenos Aires, with a focus on exploring consumer behavior and transnational trade. Two case studies are considered, Casselden Place (Melbourne) and La Casa Peña (Buenos Aires) and while some differences are encountered, the overall similarity in results points to the interconnectedness of the world during the period under study.

Conclusion

This paper has found that consumer choice, ethnicity, and class all played a role in consumer behavior, but these factors existed under the wider umbrella of industrialization, globalization, free trade, British monopoly in manufacturing, and limited local Int J Histor Archaeol manufacturing industries. The importance of this approach lies in the fact that it compares two such different peripheral cities. By looking further afield than within the British Empire (or its former colonies) we gain a better understanding of the modern world. Further comparative studies such as this one are needed not only to understand consumer behavior but also to understand the nature of life for working-class people and immigrants living in nineteenth-century urban centers such as Melbourne and Buenos Aires.
