This wiki that I'm working on, has had trouble with inappropriate comments and edits being added to it. Is there anyway to track down the object files within the mediawiki architecture and delete all this spam from the archives?

You can use Special:Recentchanges to find recent changes and clean up that way.
Have you installed any anti-spam tools http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Anti-spam_features ??
Is this wiki meant to be public? I assume so since it is getting spammed. But you should add it to http://wikistats.wmflabs.org if it is public.
Well, you should add it soon. Right now you can't but hopefully you will be able to later today.
Mark.
