The editors and some contributors to Before Ontario: The Archaeology of a Province are participating in a fascinating panel discussion next week at the Toronto Reference Library.
Heritage Toronto presents an exploration of the latest archaeological insights into the lives of Indigenous peoples in Southern Ontario prior to contact with Europeans. Connect with working historians and discover the surprising ways in which the past shapes the present.
This FREE event will be held at 6:30 pm in the Reference Library Atrium. For event details, click here.
With contributions from the province’s leading archaeologists, Before Ontario provides both an outline of Ontario’s ancient past and an easy to understand explanation of how archaeology works. The authors show how archaeologists are able to study items as diverse as fish bones, flakes of stone, and stains in the soil to reconstruct the events and places of a distant past – fishing parties, long-distance trade, and houses built to withstand frigid winters.
Presenting new insights into archaeology’s purpose and practice, Before Ontario bridges the gap between the modern world and a past that can seem distant and unfamiliar, but is not beyond our reach.
Special Excerpt: Read about life inside a longhouse
