Louisbourg Day Two

It was another great day.  I spent most of the day in the field lab washing, and labeling artifacts.  It's my favorite part.  I get to see what they found last week and examine all the pieces up close.  Here are some pictures.  There are also pictures on their Facebook site.


These are pipe stems, all the sites have been littered with them,  it was a favorite pastime.

 I love putting the Provenience label on each piece, we use a quill pen and acrylic ink.

 The Boat Builder on site is a very talented young guy.  Here are some of his tools, the wooden planers he actually made himself.   It's pretty neat!  His goal is to build a boat that was used in Louisbourg during it's time.  I check in to see his progress regularly.

If anyone is interested in the public program the info is on the park website.  I'm amazed every year, of all the great people that work here.  This year a little sad because of the cuts to funding for Parks Canada.  Understanding our history makes us stronger and our Culture makes us human,  civilized.  Why can't they see how important it is?  Everyone should be speaking out!!  We're in Canada,  not some under privileged nation.  That's my rant.  The End.
