An Archaeological Perspective on the Last 300 Years of Saskatchewan History by Margaret Kennedy

Apr 26, 2019 | 12:59 PM

An Archaeological Perspective on the Last 300 Years of Saskatchewan History will be presented by Margaret Kennedy on Tuesday, April 30th at 7:00 pm at the John M. Cuelenaere Library.

Dr. Kennedy will give an illustrated survey of the various kinds of historical archaeology done in Saskatchewan over the past century including the rich stories of the province’s past that have emerged from that important work.

We will look, for example, at the archaeology of the fur trade, Indigenous and Métis sites, early settlement and homestead sites, industrial sites and other sites representative of the past 250 or so years of Saskatchewan history.

Margaret Kennedy recently retired from teaching Archaeology in the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Saskatchewan but continues to be active in the archaeology of the northern plains.
