A Short History of New Brunswick Archaeology

In Ep2 of the NB Archaeology Podcast, Ken and Gabe discuss the history of archaeological research in New Brunswick, beginning with Pagan and Wright’s 1797 survey of St. Croix Island and extending to contemporary legislation. In two weeks we’ll talk about the Palaeoindian period. Talk to you then. In the meantime, we’d love if you subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
