Residents of the Island since the French Regime must have, from time to time, come across prehistoric artefacts in ploughed fields or at the shoreline, eroding out of the bank or strewn about the beach by the action of the water. From the Fewkes article listed below we have the names of two late Victorian collectors, John Hunter Duvar and the hotel keeper, John Newson. The naturalist Francis Bain was also interested in the subject. This woodcut, from Abbott (1881) shows this pastime which spread from Europe to America.<\/p>\n

Shell middens appear to have been a primary focus of attention to early antiquarians because of their size and likelihood of containing artefacts. Shell middens are often very large mounds of discarded mollusks that were a primary element in the diet of prehistoric peoples. The two largest ones recorded in early literature were at Oyster Bed Bridge (destroyed and used as fill when the causeway was first built) and the one on Rustico (also called Robinson\u2019s) Island, which still survives. This site seems to have become the chief focus of visiting archaeologists in the century following Fewkes, with testing done by William J. Wintemberg in 1913 and 1937, Dr. Richard J. Pearson in 1961-62, Dr. James A. Tuck in 1974, Dr. Stephen Davis in 1981 and finally in 1987-88, a comprehensive excavation of the whole site by archaeologist Birgitta Wallace of Parks Canada. Over 700 artefacts were found, most of them under <\/em><\/strong>the midden and of a much earlier age, showing that the site had been occupied for a long time. I was fortunate to visit the site in 1987 when I took these photos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This, and excavations at the Palaeo-Indian Jones Site at Greenwich in Saint Peter\u2019s Bay by Dr. David Keenlyside in 1983 and 1985, mark the beginning of serious interest in the remote prehistory of the Island.<\/p>\n

But how and when did archaeological activity on the Island begin?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Father of Prince Edward Island Prehistoric Archaeology<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dr. J. Walter Fewkes was to become one of the greatest names in American archaeology, and he would write dozens of articles on the subject over the years. Here he is in his glory in the frontis photo from Biography and Bibliography of Jesse Walter Fewkes,<\/em> by Francis S. Nicoles, 1919.<\/p>\n

In August of 1894 the prominent American archaeologist who would rise to great heights in his profession vacationed on Prince Edward Island. He stayed at the Seaside Hotel at Rustico Beach, seen here in Meacham\u2019s 1880 ATLAS. Here is a blog post by Carter Jeffery on the hotel which broadens our view of what a significant place it was.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/peiheritagebuildings.blogspot.com\/2011\/02\/seaside-hotel.html<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Although his excavations on Rustico\/Robinson’s Island were limited in time and extent, his activity records the first time that we know of that an archaeologist penetrated the soil and shellheaps in search for traces of prehistoric peoples.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(Robinson’s Island from Lot 24, Meacham’s 1880 ATLAS)<\/p>\n

The article he wrote in The American Antiquarian and Oriental Journal<\/em> upon his return home contains the first description not only of the history of archaeological activity on the Island but also lists Islanders who had an interest in the subject. I have added a pdf file of it so that you can enjoy his descriptions.<\/p>\n

The Keenlyside Excavations and Published Scholarship<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1983 an archaeologist from the Museum of Civilisation (Museum of Man) in Ottawa, Dr. David Keenlyside, upon discovering from a Charlottetown collector of prehistoric artefacts that another collector, Rolley Jones, was finding Palaeo-Indian fluted points in Saint Peter\u2019s Bay, arranged a summer excavation at the Jones Site at Greenwich, near the mouth of the Bay. Here is the young Keenlyside keenly sifting for artefacts missed in the course of the excavation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This excavation was done in collaboration with the University of Prince Edward Island which had an anthropologist on their staff. An academic credit was given to those who passed the course.<\/p>\n

It was hoped that substantial and datable remains of a Palaeo-indian site would be found so that the source of these precious fluted points could be located. Here are several of the Jones points that had been found eroded out of the bank.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The team extended their trenches repeatedly and covered quite a large area. Sadly no prehistoric hearth or work area full of stone waste material was found.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There were a number of artefacts however, that could credibly be associated with the earliest period of human occupation on the Island after the ice age. It was also possible to establish an archaeological chronology for the site layers. Keenlyside has the very great virtue of being one of those archaeologists who quickly publishes his excavation reports, not only for fellow professionals, but also for the popular reader. Here is a list, with pdf files where I was able to obtain them, of what I think are most, if not all, his publications on the Jones Site. As I obtain more pdf\u2019s, I will include them in this post.<\/p>\n

The whole Greenwich peninsula tip has for some years been a Parks Canada site and so all excavation is now under their control. We have no idea if further investigations to locate a Palaeo presence will ever be conducted. It is possible to visit the site, and the adjacent sandhill ecosystem on lovely boardwalks and enjoy the materials displayed in a large interpretative centre.<\/p>\n
