An expansion of a popular Hornby Island pub that stalled this spring with the discovery of Indigenous human remains is threatening to become a flashpoint for relations between the province and First Nations in B.C. when it comes to heritage conservation.
What began with the issuing of a permit by the government s archaeological branch in relation to a proposal for condominiums and a new pub building dissolved into a stalemate when workers stumbled across three sets of bones including those of an infant.
Image Credit: FILE PHOTO April 25, 2021 - 9:00 AM The history of Riverside Park is being uncovered as the Tk emlúps Indian Band collaborates with the City of Kamloops before revitalization projects begin at the park this fall, and the waterfront is built up for flood prevention. Tk emlúps Indian Band Archaeologist Leslie LeBourdais s work during archaeological impact assessments last summer solidifies the park as more than a popular waterfront park, but an important piece of cultural heritage at the confluence of the North and South Thompson Rivers. When you look at it now you assume it s always been a park, until you peel back the layers. It s had multiple uses and occupations, LeBourdais said. That piece of land has seen many different footprints that span thousands and thousands of years. It s transformed, but it s always been a place of gathering.
While digging a burrow, a family of rabbits inadvertently dug up prehistoric artifacts on a tiny island outside of Wales. The artifacts included a lithic (stone) artifact that is approximately 9,000 years old, as well as a shard of a bronze age burial urn approximately 3,750 years old. This type of story makes for a fascinating read and often piques the public’s interest in archaeology. Because the items unearthed by the rabbits in this particular circumstance were of a certain style that could be attributed to date ranges almost 5,000 years apart, it highlights the use and occupation of this tiny island spanning millennia.
