Our speaker of the evenin~ will be Mr. Stanley Wortnerof Bothwell~ Ontario. Mr. Wortner has been engaged inexcavations at the Hind Site (AdHk-l), a late Archaic-EarlyWoodland burial site which has produced a nuantity of burials'together with exte~sive grave goods, including native coppertools, worked stone, and bird bone awls which appear to beunioue in the artifact inventory of the period. The talk willcentre on relations between the Hind Site and other siflilarburial sites in the Grea t Lal~es region, and also on ourcurrent knowledge of life and death in Late Archaic-Early\oloodland times.

Next Month's General Meeting will be held on WednesdaYfApril 19 at 8:00 pm. in the Archaeology Laboratory, Room 561A,Sidney Smith Hall, University of Toronto.

Our speaker for the evening will be Professor Bruce.Schroeder of the Depart~ent of Anthropology, University ofToronto - Scarborough College.

Professor Schroeder:s topic of discussion will bePrehistoric Archaeological Investigations in Lebanon.

-3-PRESIDEN~·S PAGE

The Ontario Archaeoio~ical Society has recently receiveda reouest from the Department of Public Records and Archives ofOntario for the Sooiety's comments and views regardin~ the pro-posals of the brief presented in January 1971 to the Departmentby a 5roup of twelve university and Museum archaeologists, theOntario COMmittee of .~chaeologists.

While the November '71 issue of Arch Notes published thisbrief in full, its resume, entitled "A Brief Concerning theDestruction of Ontario's Archaeological Resources withSuggestions for Immediate Action", followsl

"The prehistory of Ontario is being destroyed ata rapidly increasing rate. Much of this destructioncould be averted or at least minimized by the estab-lishment of a central agency responsible for a province-wide survey of our archaeological resources. With thisinfor~ation, it would be possible to co-ordinate and moreeffectively direct our efforts to preserve sites fromunnecessary destruction and salvage valuable informationfrom others before they are destroyed by urbanexpansion, etc.. .

. "We strongly urge the introduction of legislationestablishing a Provincial Archaeologist and an OntarioBoard of Archaeology to accomplish these objectives.Additional legislation renuiring lioenses of all personsconducting arch~eolo~ical field work is also re~uested,since it would facilitate the centralization ofinfor~ation on research throughout the province, andsecondly, it would provide only nualified persons withauthorization to excavate."

The aims of such a progra~e for Ontario archaeology canbe, I believe, materially aided by O.A.S. menbers. Usefulinformation in any survey of Ontario sites could be prOVided bymany members. The need for salvage excavations when sitedestruction by construction is imminent, would be known tothose living nearby.

In the control of excavation of sites by a permit system,representation of the O.A.S. on the controlling Ontario Boardof Archaeology appears desirable and·useful. A voice in thepolicy-making and decisions of the Board in regard to approvedfield personnel is believed to be needed by the O.A.S.

The views and opinions of O.A.S. members regarding theproposed Ontario Board of Archaeology and its functions will beused when the brief from our Society to the Minister of PublicRecords and Archives is prepared. Please send your comments tome before March 31, 1972 for review with the O.A.S. representativeto the Ontario Committee of Archaeologists, Joyce Holloway, andour Legislative and Salvage Committee.

Let's ensure that the O. A. S. has a part ann a voice inthe archaeological progranme of Ontario.

Howard Savage, President.

Survey of Ottawa and DistrictA small group will meet to do some preliminary planning and willreport to the meeting of April 21st.

The following is a brief summary of the lecture by Hr. GordonD. ~latson at the February 18 l1eeting:A Woodland Indian Site at Constance Bay, Ontario.

This site, which is located about 30 miles from Ottawa, hasbeen excavated during the summers of 1970 & 1971. A radiocarbondate of 490 B.C. ± 75 years has been determined by the SaskatchewanResearch Institute from charcoal samples removed from a firepit.The site yielded pottery, and chipped stone to,als comprising pro-jectile points, scrapers and drills. A ground stone adze andseveral whetstones indicate the application of ground stone tech-nology. A relatively large conoidal vessel about 12 inches indiameter and 16 inches high has been sufficiently reconstructed toreveal its form, size and decoration. A petroform of a human faceapparently installed as a marker for a red ochre burial, and astone pattern apparently outlining a tipi floor are interestingfeatures of the site. Although excavation and research are to becontinued, a preliminary report has been submitted to the Editor,Ontario Archaeological Society, and members may be able to learnmore about this site in the near future.
