Abstract
This short paper discusses the role of research partnerships between industry and universities within the setting of the archaeology of the modern city in Australia. Funding schemes developed by the Australian Federal Government, especially the SPIRT and Linkage Schemes are argued to have had a significant impact on the conduct of archaeological research into the modern city in Australia.
