We’re joined this week by one of the legends of New Brunswick archaeology, none other than David Black. Dave joins us to discuss the important contributions on avocational archaeologists to understanding New Brunswick’s past. For those of you eager to see some of the local applications of Bonnie Pitblado’s advice from last show, this one’s for you. Dave also discusses some of the foundational research in New Brunswick archaeology. Show Notes Young, R. S., et al. (1992). "Geoarchaeology of Johns Bay, Maine."
