Members Meeting - Wednesday
October 8th 2014
Huronia Museum,
Midland - 7 PM
Presenter - John Raynor
Subject - For Passion or Profit - a
paper presented at the Canadian Archaeological Association in May 2014
Abstract
This paper will examine the role of the avocational
archaeologist over time in Ontario with a particular focus on the archaeology
of Huronia.
In a landscape where most of the archaeology in Ontario
today is carried out by CRM companies under contract to the private sector and
by a few universities that can still squeeze out the funds to do research and
fieldwork, what is the role and motivation of the avocationalist?
In this paper we will examine the history of archaeology
in Huronia and the rich record left behind by pioneers in a field well before
there were any monetary rewards or many accolades to be had. Who were they,
what did they do and perhaps more importantly, why did they do it?
Meetings
are open to the public at no charge.
