by caroline ogilvy continued from last week besides artifacts there are features as the archaeologists term unusual signs in the ground sorre of the simplest of these are rings- of stones often cracked by fire surrounding a burned place in the ground these were hearths for cooking and warmth or perhaps as watchfires in a burial ceremony the burial ground itself was the biggest most intriguing fea ture the burials looked like those of a highly developed re ligion not crude and not very superstitious they were cre- mation burials showing only a 1 ritualistic handful of bone plac ed in the grave on top of a thin layer of powdered red ochre some times a few cache blades appeared with a burial as gifts to the dead but these indians did not believe in a use of the body after death and so includ- i ed nothing for the use of the dead in an afterlife still the burial ground was always cho sen overlooking running water so that the spirits might be happy in this beautiful place since this was a camp there was a lot more than digging go- t ing on first there were the i tents every so often in a high j wind one would fall down that i was uproarious if you were on 1 the outside the tents about 14 of them were in a semicircle behind the pavilion originally a park refreshment stand now our dininghall workroom kit chen and even dormitory if it rained too hard and you had a leaky tent at the centre of the semi circle was the firepit where we often sat at night around a campfire and sang to the ac companiment of dr emersons guitar and a huge drum belong ing to one of the boys behind the kitchen was the cantankerous old woodstove on which we cooked one cold night in a desperate survival effort we stoked the stove till it glow- ed red on top the customary raid of the kitchen had revealed nothing edible when the pots of water kept on the stove for coffee in the morning and hot dishwater gave the young crowd an idea we rummaged in the ice box for wieners and boiled us some hot dogs the next mor ning there were dour complaints about vhe coffee wakey wakey was at 730 when the early rising dr em erson shaking the tents and the smells of bacon and eggs per haps french toast or even pan cakes drew the laziest sleepers out to brave the cold for break fast work began after breakfast in the trenches when one of the field directors gave the ac customed order out to the salt mines you peasants we worked in fivefoot squares scraping with pointing trow els or for specially delicate work grapefruit knifes so af not to break anything we struck when we touched something the whole floor of the square had to be levelled to the depth of our find before taking it out this kept an accurate record of how deep and exactly where each piece was found but oh the patience needed to stem curios ity while levelling twenty square feet of sand to see what goody you had found in each square we dug three levels of three inches each ex cept in the burials where a minimum of eleven levels was necessary thirtythree inches goodies as one of the field directors liked to call the arti facts were placed in paper bags on which was marked the num ber of your square and the level the squares were in double rows of about- twenty squares each and a sixinch wall was left between one square and the next in the burials people com monly disappeared it is not thought that any were lost this i way but many diggers had to be helped out to avoid breaking the dry sand walls in the ordinary 9inch squares people generally grouped by age and many friendships developed while we were hard at work if we broke off early enough at noon we went swimming down at the baths if we did not go swimming we went dirty the baths were hollows filled with flowing water among the majestic remains of the iong sault rapids the sight from the bank forty feet above look ed like any river bottom but when we were down among the giant slabs of limestone that had made the rapids roar they were awesome the whole bottom was like a huge tabletop with little grooves here and there in which flowed the green water of the st lawrence only about four feet deep in the cracks the wa ter was warm and lovely for bathing if we went down farther to the east we could swim in deep water or even dive off one handy rock but the baths were the favourite place by 530 we needed baths again for the sand was dry and blowing and throwing it from the square usually spread it all over the neighbouring diggers even though we occasionally the applause is all for the a general motors value fads are no

was a good sport we never caught anything at nighr there was a lovely though odd sight seen on the river we lived in a selfcon tained camp roughing it out- ofdoors for the most part cut off from the civilized ways of living except for tourists jet downstream from us just a scant quarter of a mile was rising the magnificent manmade structure called long sault dam in the night the brilliant blue mercury lamps and mailer yel low lights marking off the sec tions of the dam and pinpoint ing gigantic crane booms were reflected in the water below and lit the camp more brightly than a full moon could incessant noises of diesel trucks and clanking cranes pour ing concrete came to us loudly across the night distances it is beautiful the romance of progress but so hard to rec oncile with the romance of an cient mysteries yet to be un ravelled by archaeology business directory delicious lunch- an invitation to cherrywood on sept 11th and to centennial on sept 12th was announced mrs fred
