UNB Receives Donation of Important Archaeological ArtifactsThe discovery of First Nations artifacts while repairing the foundation of a fishing camp on the Miramichi River during the 1920s dramatically changed the life of George Frederic Clarke. It marked the beginning of his life-long interest in archaeology and in the culture and history of the First Nations people of New Brunswick. "This is significant from the point-of-view of First Nations history and the history of archaeology in New Brunswick, because much of the material in the collection comes from areas that are now beneath the headponds, above the dams," said Dr. Black, Professor of Archaeology at UNB. Dr. Black and his collegues are now conducting an inventory of the collection, which includes artifacts on display at the L. P. Fisher Library in Woodstock and at the Atlantic Salmon Museum in Doaktown. « Anthropology Open House | Main | Anthropology Graduate Program » |
