		Archaeology at the Uniacke Estate ^Votes:0 A short archaeological survey at Uniacke Estate by the Nova Scotia Archaeology Society in 1991 led to a full-scale project in 1992. The aim of the project was to investigate elements of Uniacke's original landscape design and search for other elements about which documentary evidence is vague or missing. The project was a success, yielding insights into the original estate design and gaining a great deal of public exposure for Nova Scotia archaeology as a whole. Historical archaeology is one part of a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of the Uniacke Estate, along with archival research, oral history research, and material culture studies . Archaeology can contribute important insights into the Uniacke Estate. For general information see our archaeological field methods page. Two are Read More Go to Site


		Archaeology in Nova Scotia - Debert Palaeo-Indian site ^Votes:0 Debert Palaeo-Indian Site Evidence of First Peoples is recognized through distinctive stone tools which are known only to belong to Palaeo-Indian tool kits. Isolated finds have been recorded in each of the three Maritime Provinces; however only one major living area, near Debert and Belmont in Colchester County, has so far been identified. Radiocarbon dating places the age of these finds at approximately 10, 600 years ago. The Debert/Belmont area occupies a commanding view near the head of Cobequid Bay and was ideally situated to intercept herds of migrating caribou once common to the Maritimes. Archaeological evidence indicates small, seasonal hunting camps, perhaps re-visited over several generations. Only stone artifacts have survived at the Debert site, since organic materials rapidly Read More Go to Site

		PROTECTING ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SITES AND ARTIFACTS ^Votes:0 PROTECTING ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SITES AND ARTIFACTS Things you should know It is against the law in Nova Scotia to dig artifacts without a permit. You must have a Heritage Research Permit before disturbing any place where things such as stone tools, pottery shards or other artifacts are found. This protection for Nova Scotia's heritage resources is part of the Special Places Protection Act originally passed in 1980. The Act covers historical, archaeological and palaeontological sites and remains, including those under water. Why should we protect sites and artifacts? If time-travel were easy as hopping on a bus, wouldn't you buy a ticket to the past? We don't have time-machines, but we do have artifacts. Artifacts let us reach back into time for real clues to the mysteries of anci Read More Go to Site
