Archaeology

"The archeological site represents one of the most recognizable, largest, richest and most visible 17th-century archeological sites in British North America." says Canada's National Post. Where is it?
The Colony of Avalon in Newfoundland.
One of Dr. Tuck's favourite sources is the privy. "It is an archeologist's heaven because when something is dropped into a toilet, no one is going after it. We have found silk and satin (the gentry's toilet paper), a shoe -- all sorts of artifacts."
There's more here.
