January/March 2019 Arch Notes 24 (1))

As a professor with an email addresson the web that is linked to a pageabout archaeology, I receive a cer-

tain number of inquiries from the generalpublic about ‘objects’. Some of these areartifacts, some turn out to be ‘just a rock’,and some of them are trinkets purchased inmarkets in other parts of the globe. Thispast summer, one such email landed in myinbox, but this one was a bit different. In themessage, the local property owner, Mr.Gordon Salo, outlined how he would likeinformation about a few objects found onLake Panache, and he also indicated that itwas his intention to give the artifacts toAtikameksheng Anishnawbek, the closestcommunity to the location of discovery ofthe artifacts.

What a great idea! A quick search of the Ministry of

Tourism, Culture, and Sport databaseshowed that no sites had been registered onLake Panache. A bit more research sug-gested that the two diagnostic point frag-ments are likely from the late Archaic(Laurentian Archaic, if the distribution canbe stretched as far north and east as Sud-bury). A trip to the lake, a talk with thelandowners, and a look around the proper-ties suggests that the two discovery loca-tions are find spots rather than camps. Theyare on two sandy spots on a lakeshore dom-inated by rocky outcrops, so finding arti-facts in these places is hardly a surprise.However, it is interesting that despite thefact that Panache is known as part of an im-portant Indigenous water route, no siteshave previously been registered there.

On Jan. 24, 2019 Mr. Gordon Salo andhis mother, Mrs. Lucy Salo presented the

artifacts that they had cared for over the last30-40 years to Chief Valerie Richer ofAtikameksheng Anishnawbek, in the pres-ence of the Director of Operations, BrendanHuston; Director of Planning and Infra-structure, Arvind Sharma; Lands Manager,Robert Paishegwon; and Mineral Develop-ment Advisor, Saruna Kunwar. The artifactswill be kept in a secure display location atthe Atikameksheng Anishnawbek band of-fice together with information about wherethey were discovered.

As president of the Ontario Archaeolog-ical Society, I congratulate the Salos fortaking the initiative to return Indigenouscultural artifacts to Atikameksheng Anish-nawbek. Thank you.

ONTARIO ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY INC.ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING

JOHN D. BRADLEYCONVENTION CENTRE,

CHATHAM-KENTSATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10,

2018

Board Members in attendance:Alicia Hawkins, PresidentPaul Racher, Past-President Rob Pihl, Vice-PresidentDebbie Steiss, TreasurerJames Conolly, DirectorKaitlyn Malleau, DirectorDana Millson, DirectorBill Ross, DirectorAmy St. John, DirectorLorie Harris, Executive Director

There were 24 OAS members in atten-dance (based on a total membership of697), and six proxies were received.

Call to Order (at 4:46 pm):President Alicia Hawkins called the

meeting to order at 4:46 pm and wel-comed the membership to the AnnualBusiness Meeting. Upon motion (RobPihl/Dana Millson), the agenda for the2018 OAS Annual Business Meeting(ABM) was proposed for adoption; withno discussion, the vote was called and car-ried. Upon motion (Rob Pihl/Josh Dent),the minutes from the 2017 ABM were pro-posed for adoption; with no discussion,the vote was called and carried. No mat-ters arising from the minutes were noted.

President’s Report:President Alicia Hawkins updated the

membership on various OAS initiativesshe has been involved with during theyear:

Surplus funding from the grant pro-vided by the Ministry of Tourism,Culture and Sport (MTCS) to assistwith the “Nations United” session atthe 2017 OAS on Friday was used topublish the proceedings based on ataped recording of the event. Theproceedings include recommenda-tions made by the participants and areavailable on the OAS website;

Training for First Nation Field Liai-son Representatives (FLR) has con-tinued in partnership with theMississaugas of the New Credit FirstNation and included both the produc-tion of several training modules andthe supply of OAS volunteers to helpwith training;

Kate Oxley, MTCS, encouraged theOAS to apply to the Ontario TrilliumFoundation Grow grant program (analternate revenue stream to offset thefrozen Provincial Heritage Organiza-tion grant)—the grant requires meas-urable criteria for making a

difference in people’s lives;

the OAS therefore submitted an ap-plication to provide funding to growthe FLR training program for a two-year period in Northeastern Ontario,which includes Sudbury, Manitoulin,Algoma and Cochrane; the programwould work closely with the Anishin-abek Nation that has many communi-ties within the identified catchmentarea; the aim would be to provide in-formation through a series of work-shops about archaeology within theregion—reports, publications, knownsite locations and replicas of repre-sentative or special artifacts;

A ‘Statement of Intent’ has beensigned between the OAS and the An-ishinabek Nation that seeks to estab-lish a collaborative protocolpertaining to the repatriation of arti-facts, ancestors, and the sharing ofdocuments pertaining to their her-itage; the OAS would provide docu-ments, representative artifacts, andvolunteers to help conduct the work-shops.

Treasurer’s Report:Treasurer Debbie Steiss provided an

overview of the financial results for thefiscal year that ended on December 31,2017 and some information on trends andactivities during the current year that affectthe financial position of the OAS. Theseare highlighted as follows:

Upon consultation with the OAS ac-countants, Weinberg & Gaspirc, a‘Notice to Reader’ was conducted for

the 2017 fiscal year; however, basedincreased revenue generated from theTrillium grant in fiscal 2018, a regu-lar audit will likely need to be per-formed.

Comments regarding the financial yearending December 31, 2017:

Year-end reporting was tabulated ac-

cording to the various funds, e.g., En-dowment (OAS Publication and VSonstenes SR), Restricted (OASAwards and Restricted Projects deter-mined by the OAS Board) and unre-stricted (OAS Future);

A Provincial Heritage Organization(PHO) grant was received of over$42,000 which goes towards operat-

ing activities;

A Student Employment Programgrant of $10,974 was receivedfrom the MTCS to hire three stu-dents;

The OAS membership fee was in-creased by 10% over the 2016rate and up 7% in 2018;

The revenue from subscriptions tothe journal Ontario Archaeologyincreased slightly from the previ-ous year;

The 2017 OAS Symposium gen-erated a profit in excess of$21,000, and this was facilitatedby a grant of $26,500 from theMTCS to support the First Nationsession called “Nations United”,sponsorship revenue in excess of$12,000 and over $2,000 gener-ated from the Silent Auction.Steiss noted that profit from theOAS Symposium is an importantsource of operating funds, giventhat the PHO grants have beenfrozen for the past several years;

Debbie referred to the balancesheet for the year ending Decem-ber 31, 2017 that was published inthe Annual Report.

Debbie noted that during anevent in 2018 called June Giving,an amount in excess of $5,000 wasraised for the Awards Fund. Uponmotion (Eva MacDonald/SherylSmith), the 2017 Financial State-

ment was proposed for adoption.Jim Keron asked if interest fromthe publication fund could cover

more than one issue of Ontario Archaeol-ogy per year and Debbie Steiss respondedthat the accountants Weinburg & Gaspirccould advise on re-allocating some of thegrowth that did not originate from strictlyinterest-bearing investments.

Upon motion (Debbie Steiss/JimKeron), the accounting firm of Weinberg& Gaspirc LLP was proposed for appoint-ment to perform the OAS financial auditfor the 2018 fiscal year. There was no dis-cussion, and the vote was called and car-ried.

Election of Directors:The Nomination Committee consisted

of Alicia Hawkins and Paul Racher, andthey were tasked with finding nomineesfor the two-year position of Director ofHeritage Advocacy that would be vacantin 2019, as well as for the President-Electposition. Alicia was pleased to announcethat they had secured two nominees: JimSherrett has agreed to run for Director ofHeritage Advocacy, and Dr. Scott Martinagreed to run for President-Elect. Afterfurther calls for nominations from thefloor, the question was called and the twonominees were acclaimed.

2019 Symposium:Carole Stimmell announced that the

2019 OAS Symposium will be co-hostedby the OAS Toronto Chapter and the Uni-versity of Toronto, Department of Anthro-pology Archaeological Research Centre;the theme will be based on Urban Archae-

ology. As yet, no date has been scheduledand a venue for the meetings is still to bedetermined; however, due to the high ac-commodation costs in Toronto, the chaptercannot guarantee a favourable rate for ac-commodations. The banquet site willhopefully be held in a brew pub.

Strategic Plan:A draft version of the Strategic Plan

(SP) for 2019-2024 was published on theOAS website, in a previous issue of ArchNotes and made available to the OASmembership in the Annual Report for theABM. President Alicia Hawkins provideda brief background on how the draft SPwas prepared, and how it reflects the two-fold Mission of the OAS to provide ar-chaeological education and publicoutreach as well as leadership as to howarchaeology is practised in Ontario; shealso touched on some of the SP objectives,such as reducing the number of ArchNotes to quarterly per year and havingfewer Board meetings (four per year), etc.

Sheryl Smith thanked the Board fortheir efforts in producing the draft SP andasked how progress towards achieving theSP goals could be measured. She advo-cated for the OAS Board to engage in reg-ular communication with the OASmembership and to provide them withfeedback regarding the success of the SP.

Alicia suggested that the OAS websitecould be used to help the membershipmonitor the progress of the SP and encour-aged the membership to provide more vol-unteer help where possible, outside ofserving as Directors on the board. A recur-

ring theme is the Society does a lot ofwork, with not enough resources orenough financial support and thousands ofhours are contributed by volunteers.

Upon motion (Neal Ferris/Matt Beau-doin), the draft Strategic Plan was pro-posed for adoption. With no furtherdiscussion, the vote was called and car-ried.

Other Business:Upon motion (Neal Ferris/James

Conolly), the OAS membership thanks thefollowing individuals for their contribu-tions to the OAS:

Lorie Harris, OAS Executive Director;Outgoing Board of Director members—

Paul Racher and Bill Fox;Ontario Archaeology editor—Chris

Ellis and copy editor, Suzanne Needs-Howarth;

OAS Webmaster—Josh Dent;Arch Notes co-editors—Sheryl Smith

and Carole Stimmell; andThe 2018 OAS Symposium committee:

Holly Martelle, Jim Keron, Josh Dent,Shari Prowse, Amanda Black and NicoleAszalos.

The vote was called and carried.

Adjournment:Upon motion (Matt Beaudoin/Neal Fer-

ris), the meeting was adjourned at 5:37pm. The vote was called and carried.

Notes taken by Rob Pihl, Vice President

The Toronto Chapter is hosting the 2019 OAS Symposium. The theme is Urban Archaeology(The past Under the Pavement) and are looking for Logo that captures that idea. Ideally, thelogo would incorporate both a modern cityscape (Toronto would be nice) and the variety of

archaeology found in urban areas.The logo would be use on both paper formats and objects like bags. Colour is prefered but the

logo should be simple enough to work in black and white. The final version should be submitted in jpeg format with at least 300 dpi.

The Chapter is offering a $200 honorarium to the designer of the selected logo. Submissions should be emailed to [email protected].

The deadline for submissions is June 30.

Ihave been involved in thediscipline of archaeology,and the archaeology of

Ontario in particular, since1993. My roles have in-cluded: Volunteer; Student (topresent); Field Technician;Field Supervisor; UniversityInstructor (CLA and Ses-sional); Professional Licensee;Project Archaeologist, ProjectManager; and Acting Labora-tory Manager.

Since July 2016, I havebeen the Operations Managerat Sustainable ArchaeologyMcMaster, where I am prima-rily focussed on archaeologi-cal collections curation,including background sites re-

search. Some of my other interests are inarchaeobotanicals (usually charred plant re-mains from archaeological sites); lithics(stone tools and their manufacturing by-products); precontact ceramics; and fieldmethods.

Thematically, I have put some researchtime into the spread of maize (Zea mays)through the Lower Great Lakes region;Final Foragers and First Farmers; and theMateriality and Taxonomy of Tradition,Transmission and Transition.

One ongoing, intermittent field project(McMaster University ArchaeologicalField School) I am a part of runs at theNursery (AhGx-8), a multicomponent pre-contact to historic site in Cootes Paradise,Royal Botanical Gardens, Hamilton.

I seek to partner further with the Indige-nous communities whose ancestors livedand worked at this location and I look for-ward to a more formal role with the OAS.

IN HIS OWN WORDS: INTRODUCING OUR PRESIDENT-ELECT

By Mima Kapches (with assistance of Christine CaroppoClarence)

Ihave been conducting a research project concerning the firstCanadian members of the Society for American Archaeol-ogy (SAA) for the years 1935 to 1941. I have now given

three presentations on this topic at OAS Chapter meetings inToronto (May 16, 2018), London (October 11, 2018) and Ot-tawa (October 18, 2018).

This is what can be considered an aside to a larger researchproject —that of writing a biography of Peter Marshall Pringle(1878-1953) for the Profile section of Ontario Archaeology. Re-search on Pringle necessitated a visit to the SAA archives (inMarch 2017) which are held by the National Museum of NaturalHistory, Washington, DC in the National AnthropologicalArchives (NAA).

While there, a review of the correspondence from the Secre-tary-Treasurer, Carl E. Guthe, covered the time period of thefounding of the SAA and from this I wondered about the Canadi-ans who were early members (for an informal account by Guthesee his article “Reflections on the Founding of the Society forAmerican Archaeology”, American Antiquity Vol. 32 (4):433-440). The first Canadian member (a fellow) was Dr. DiamondJenness of the Dominion Museum, Ottawa, who was also thesecond SAA President in 1936. The second Canadian memberwas W.J. Wintemberg (a fellow), also of the Dominion Museum.I’m not going to go into detail about my research on the other 19Canadians who became members of the SAA during those earlyyears —that is the subject of a paper that I’m writing.

For this brief note, I’d like to see if anyone knows about thefirst Canadian woman to join the SAA, Hannah Ethel BlackSmith (nee Duncan).

Hannah was nominated for an affiliate membership in theSAA by both Wintemberg and also Fritz Knechtel. She joined in1936 as Hannah Black and continued her membership after shewas married (for the second time) as Hannah Smith. She was in-terested in history and was a member of the organizing commit-tee for the Ontario Historical Society meetings held in Brantfordin 1943.

My research thus far about Hannah Ethel Smith is in the Time-

line below. (Ancestry research by Christine Caroppo Clarence isnoted as CCC, my research is indicated by MK).

We know where she was born, where she lived, who she mar-ried. But we don’t know how she became interested in archaeol-ogy. I have researched the Wintemberg correspondence in theCanadian Museum of History and the A.F. Hunter correspon-dence in the Simcoe County Archives with no leads to her.Knechtel’s correspondence archives do not seem to be in the mu-seums that have some of his collections. The William NobleArchives at McMaster University do not refer to her, howeverthere is a mention in those archives of an interview in 1973 withan old collector named Jack Morton that mentions a Mr. Smith,who was a “gas man” and a friend of Pringle’s (Hannah’s hus-band was a salesman for McColl-Frontenac oil company.) Butthere were several Smiths at that time and the Smith referred toby Morton lived in Port Colborne, not Brantford. All of myPringle research, and that consists of hundreds of letters, do notmention her. The SAA correspondence with Hannah ends in1949 with an unanswered letter from Glenn Black about herlapsed membership. We don’t know when she died, as shedoesn’t have a grave stone on the “Find a Grave” website, anddeath notices from recent years are not available on ancestrywebsites. We know she had a son, Douglas Duncan Black, whowas a radio operator on Great Lakes ships, and was enlisted inthe RCAF in WWII.

Between 1921 and 1936 she moved back to Penetanguishenefrom Northern Ontario. Is this when she became interested in ar-chaeology? At this time the AAROs were still being published byRowland B. Orr of the Ontario Provincial Museum, but this wasthe end of their publication run. Andrew F. Hunter was ill by1931, when he was asked to step down from his duties as Secre-tary of the Ontario Historical Society. (As an aside, neither Orrnor Hunter was nominated for SAA membership by Wintem-berg.) Is it possible that the connection to Fritz Knechtel ofHanover, Ontario was through her husband Lloyd Smith, as hemight have travelled southern Ontario as a salesman? This isspeculation.

Does anyone have any information on a woman collector oravocational archaeologist named Hannah Smith? If so please letme know at [email protected].

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

By Alicia Hawkins

OAS members will be aware of the fact that over the courseof several years, students hired by the OAS (along withstaff at Archaeological Services Inc.) have played an im-

portant role in helping to curate the unique artifact and site recordcollection from the many years of fieldwork that Charles Garradundertook on Petun sites.

Now we want to help Charles and Ella with something else.In the course of his life, Charlie amassed a not insignificantarchive of documents related to archaeology inOntario. These are separate from therecords related to excavations,which will rightly stay withthe artifact collection.Dr. Katie Labelle, anhistorian who spe-cializes in the his-tory of the Wendatand Wyandot, spentsome time last year with theGarrads looking through these mate-rials, and with an archivist from theArchives of Ontario, was able to es-tablish which records should be trans-ferred there.

Unfortunately, since thesummer of 2018 there havebeen some changes at theArchives of Ontario. Theyare no longer able to pay forthe boxes to pack up archivalmaterial, nor for the people todo the packing.

So the OAS would like tohelp with this. As all of youknow, or should know, the Gar-rads have been central to theOAS for decades. As they growolder, they worry about what willbecome of these records. The cost ofthe boxes is not huge – perhaps $250total. And Katie estimates that a group of10 people could accomplish the packingtask in the course of a day. We could save C h a r l e sand Ella considerable worry by helping to ensure the documentsgo to the Archives of Ontario.

If 25 people were to contribute $10 each, we would have the cost

of the boxes covered. You can make a donation through the OASwebpage, and earmark it for “OAS (unspecified)” and in the notefor which chapter you are donating to, specify “Garrad boxes”https://www.ontarioarchaeology.org/donate

And if you are able to contribute to the effort of packing up theboxes – sometime between now and the end of April, send an emailto [email protected] and we will put your nameon the list.

Thank you so much!
