Some comments from Alicia to the ministry:
"I am attaching several photos I took of an unregistered site in north Simcoe that is being looted. There were backdirt piles along the embankment, a number of holes, all of them along the edge of the creek, and even a hoe! Judging from the growth of vegetation on the backdirt piles, the activity has been recent, but not very recent. Like maybe last fall.
The site is village sized with deep middens. I didn't see
any trade goods and all we did was a walk-over, so there was not a whole lot
that is diagnostic, but I would say it is Huron-Wendat - contact or precontact.
I have mostly filled out the Borden form, which I will fax
to you. The site is owned by Simcoe County - it is in a Simcoe County forest.
The Huronia chapter is considering doing a public arch day
aimed at screening the backdirt piles and attempting to stabilize the
banks, if we can get the permissions. This would be for mid August."
Congratulation Gary - good eye and thank you Alicia for the interest and follow up.
