Comments on: Professor digs deep at Crawford Lake http://www.brocku.ca/brock-news/?p=8336 A news source for Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario Thu, 20 Jun 2013 04:26:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: J.Dreifelds http://www.brocku.ca/brock-news/?p=8336&cpage=1#comment-5739 J.Dreifelds Fri, 25 Feb 2011 17:52:05 +0000 http://www.brocku.ca/brock-news/?p=8336#comment-5739 I could add that a study of the varved deposits at Crawford lake about 40 years ago led to the discovery of an Iroquois village. The discovery of corn pollen in the deposits dating to about 1600's was the key. A native people's specialist from UWO was asked to point out the likeliest site of the presumed village. Indeed he succeeded on the first guess. After many years of archeological research at the site, the village was reconstructed ,together with its long houses on exactly the same foundations that had existed 400 years ago.Today the whole area is a park and cetrtainly is worth the drive to enjoy the lake ,with cliff-like shores, and the village.At the end of February they also feature a sugar bush.
