The Peterborough Chapter of the Ontario Archaeology Society is offering a unique public presentation featuring two outstanding archaeologists. Dr. Catherine Mathias and Mr. Brian Ross will be speaking at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church on the corner of Water and Murray Street, Tuesday October 23 at 7pm.
Dr. Mathias has been working in the field of artifact conservation for many years including a recent contract with the Peterborough Museum and Archives. She has also worked with Memorial University of Newfoundland, the Canadian Conservation Institute and the Canadian Museum of Civilization. She is currently conducting research in the area of textiles and artifact depiction in 17th century works of art.
For the last 26 years Mr. Ross has been responsible for archaeology projects in Ontario’s National Parks as well as major First Nation sites in the Niagara Region and along the Trent Severn Waterway. After a brief introduction to the National Parks and Native Sites Program, he will present four of Parks Canada’s most important archaeological sites, including a major early stone axe production site, and a portage site.
