Archaeology at renowned Kamloops park shows its long history and cultural importance | iNFOnews

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.

Quartet of archaeological sites identified in Riverside Park

An image outlining the locations shows one site to the left of the Riverside Park pier, two sites between the pier and the Sandman Centre parking lot and one site directly to the north of the Sandman Centre parking lot. “Not to our surprise, there was intact deposits throughout the park,” LeBourdais said. “Even though these were just sort of a limited area where our testing was conducted, we recovered some incredible data.” LeBourdais said the sites show continuous occupation of the land for up to 4,000 years. Diagnostic and historic artifacts were recovered, including one that showed social gatherings occurred in that area.
