Abstract: When the Metropolitan Conservation Authority purchased the Boyd property near Woodbridge, Ontario, for development as a public park, they were informed by The Ontario Archaeological Society that it contained an archaeological site. Since recovery, preservation, and public education are mutual aims of these two bodies, arrangements were soon completed to have this site excavated, the recovered material analysed, and artifacts prepared for inclusion in a public education display planned for this park.
The Thomas Site: A Late Prehistoric Village
Volume: OA7
Year: 1962
Author: DONALDSON, W. S.
Page Range: 21 – 38
Abstract: During an archaeological survey of Reach Township, Ontario County, in the spring of 1955, the author discovered several sites whose surface material indicated a relationship to contact sites being reported from Huronia. As these sites lay well south-east of that area, a more intensive study seemed warranted. Accordingly, a large, relatively untouched site on Lot 18, Concession 14, was selected. Permission was obtained from the owner and several test squares excavated.
A Pre-Iroquois Burial Site
Volume: OA7
Year: 1962
Author: ANDERSON, J. E.
Page Range: 39 – 46
Abstract: Bosomworth site in West Gwillimbury Township near Bradford, Ontario was excavated in the autumn of 1958 by the University of Toronto and the Ontario Archaeological Society under the direction of Professor J. Norman Emerson. Two areas were excavated: a pre-Iroquois village site and a cemetery of primary individual shallow pit burials. Excavation of the latter was a salvage operation, the burials having been uncovered in a gravel pit. A preliminary report on the village site (Emerson: 1959) draws attention to the fact that association of the village and burial sites is not yet definite. A detailed report on this site will be done when analysis of material from subsequent excavations is complete.
