The Lake Ontario Maritime Cultural Landscape Project

Project Introduction
What lies between terrestrial and submerged archaeology? The archeology of the shore. Why study the shore? In order to understand how people and goods moved from land to water and back again and to give us a better understanding of human history.

While there are plenty of well-studied shipwrecks and our grasp of terrestrial archaeology is strong, archaeologists have not invested a significant amount of effort into connecting the two sub-fields. Many people in the past, however, transitioned easily from one medium to the next and many of the artifacts that we excavate likely moved across a waterline sometime before being deposited. The Lake Ontario Maritime Landscape Project will address this interface by focusing on how people interacted with the water along Lake Ontario’s shoreline between 5000 years before present (BP) and 1900. With a little luck, we will be able to identify what people were doing where along the shore and identify how these activities related to the environment.

This is the third summer that Ben and his team have been working on this project. So far this year they have been on Carleton Island and Wolfe Island – at the mouth of the canal. They are leaving the Island this week and heading to Amherst Island and Nicholson’s Point. This is our opportunity to find out more bout the project, and hear what they have found out about our fascinating nautical history thus far.
