Greg Marchildon interviews Matthew Betts, the editor and principal author of Place-Making in the Pretty Harbour: The Archaeology of Port Joli, Nova Scotia published by the University of Ottawa Press. Over the past decade, Matthew and his fellow archaeologists have been digging up artifacts at one of the richest Mi’kmaq sites in Canada. From this evidence, they have been reconstructing the pre-European contact history of the Mi’kmaq in Canada. In his research, Betts relied on the history on the region and people previously published by the Champlain Society. He explores the connection between archaeology and documentary history. This podcast was produced by Jessica Schmidt.
