3 STAGE 1 AND 2 ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE ARGO PROPERTY, PART OF LOT 15, CONCESSION 1 NDS FORMERLY IN THE TOWNSHIP OF TRAFALGAR SOUTH, NOW IN THE TOWN OF OAKVILLE, REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF HALTON 1 INTRODUCTION was contracted by McGill Development Services, Ltd to conduct a Stage 1 and 2 archaeological assessment of the Argo Property located within Part of Lots 15, Concession 1 NDS, formerly in the Geographic Township of Trafalgar South, now in the Town of Oakville, Regional Municipality of Halton (Figure 1). The subject property comprises approximately 29 ha. The Stage 2 assessment was conducted under the project direction of Ms. Debbie Steiss under professional archaeological license P049 (MCL CIF P ) issued to Ms. Steiss in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act (R.S.O. 1990). Stage 2 fieldwork was carried out under the field direction of Mr. Robert Wojtowicz. Dr. Ronald Williamson was the project manager. Permission to access the land and to carry out all activities necessary for the purpose of this assessment was granted by McGill Development Services on October 9, Figure 1: The study area located on NTS Map 30 M/5, Hamilton-Burlington, 1999, 10 th Edition.

4 2 2.0 STAGE 1 BACKGROUND RESEARCH Stage 1 background research was conducted in order to identify any archaeological sites previously registered in the study area prior to field examination, and to assess its archaeological potential based on its physiographic setting, proximity to registered archaeological sites and a summary review of nineteenth-century maps. 2.1 Physiography The subject property is located within the Peel Plain physiographic region of Southern Ontario (Chapman and Putnam 1984: ). This physiographic region covers a large area across the central portions of the Regional Municipalities of Peel, York and Halton. The surface of the plain is characterized by level to gently rolling topography, with a consistent, gradual slope toward Lake Ontario. The physiography of the Peel Plain is best described as bevelled till plains that have originated from silty clay glacial till deposits derived principally from local-occurring brown shales, sandstones and fossiliferous limestone. More specifically, the subject area is characterized by level to gently rolling topography, bisected by a seasonal tributary of Morrison creek. The predominant soil type is a well drained Oneida clay loam developed upon an argillaceous till. 2.2 Previous Archaeological Research In order that an inventory of archaeological resources could be compiled for the study area, three sources of information were consulted: the site record forms for registered sites housed at the Ministry of Culture; published and unpublished documentary sources; and the files of, including the Master Plan of Archaeological Resources of the Regional Municipality of Halton. In Ontario, information concerning archaeological sites is stored in the Ontario Archaeological Sites Database (OASD) which is maintained by the Ministry of Culture. This database contains archaeological sites registered within the Borden system. The Borden system was first proposed by Dr. Charles E. Borden and is based on a block of latitude and longitude. Each Borden block measures approximately 13 km east-west by 18.5 km north-south, and sites within each block are numbered sequentially as they are found. The study area under review straddles Borden blocks AiGw and AjGw. Sixty-one sites have been previously registered within a one-kilometre radius of the subject property. A summary of these sites is provided in Table 1. Regional sites can be expected to relate to the cultural/temporal categories outlined in Table 2.

7 5 A review of files indicated that the property immediately adjacent to the east of the study area, located within Part of Lots 14 and 15, Concession 1 NDS, had been surveyed in 2005 and three pre-contact findspots (AiGw-415, AiGw-416 and AiGw-453) and one lithic scatter (AiGw-454) had been documented (ASI: 2006). AiGw-415 and AiGw-416 are found within 100 metres of the eastern boundary of the study area. 2.3 Summary Review of Historical Maps The 1877 Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of Halton was reviewed to determine the potential for finding historical archaeological remains within the study area (Figure 2). Figure 2: Study area illustrated on the 1877 Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of Halton The subject property is located on Part of Lot 15 Concession 1 NDS, formerly in the Township of Trafalgar South, now in the Town of Oakville, Regional Municipality of Halton (Figure 2). According to the Illustrated Historical Atlas, the subject lands were owned by a Mr. Richard Halloran N. R. (non-resident) in 1877 and had a single dwelling with orchard set back from Sixth Line. However, it should be noted that not all features of interest were mapped systematically in the Ontario series of historical atlases, given that they were financed by subscription, and subscribers were given preference with regard to the level of detail provided on the maps. Moreover, the accuracy with which features were plotted on these maps is limited and not every feature of interest would have been within the scope of the historic atlases. The Master Plan of Archaeological Resources of the Regional Municipality of Halton, Planning Report (ASI:1998) was consulted for further information on the historical archaeological potential

8 6 of the study area. No historical features were noted or mapped within the study area in the Master Plan of Archaeological Resources of the Regional Municipality of Halton. 2.4 Assessment of Archaeological Potential In order to disseminate the likelihood of encountering both pre-contact and historical archaeological resources, the archaeological potential is determined for the study area. The archaeological potential is analysed using predictive models which consider several factors such as habitable land and natural resources Pre-contact Archaeological Potential The study area is located within the region examined during the course of the Master Plan of Archaeological Resources of the Regional Municipality of Halton (ASI: 1998), of which a major component was the development of a predictive model for the distribution of archaeological sites. Predictive modeling involves reconstructing natural and social environments of the past, reconstructing the life ways of various cultural groups that occupied these past environments, then examining relationships between the life ways and the environment in order to predict the locations that may have been the focus of past human activity. By identifying the relationship between known sites and past environments it is possible to select the factors that influenced site selection. The Master Plan research determined that a buffer zone extending 200 metres from any water source constitutes an acceptable characterization of pre-contact archaeological site potential within Halton Region, whether above or below the Escarpment. Based on the presence of a seasonal tributary of Morrison Creek within the subject property, the study area has potential for the identification of pre-contact archaeological remains depending on the degree of more recent disturbances. Moreover, as listed in Section 2.2, several pre-contact archaeological sites have been registered within one kilometre of the study area, including the four sites located within close proximity to the eastern boundary of the study area, indicating that there is potential for the identification of pre-contact archaeological remains within the study area Historical Archaeological Potential For the Euro-Canadian period, the majority of early nineteenth-century farmsteads (i.e., those which are arguably the most potentially significant resources and whose locations are rarely recorded on nineteenth-century maps) are likely to be captured by the basic proximity to water model outlined above, since these occupations were subject to similar environmental constraints. An added factor, however, is the development of the network of concession roads through the course of the nineteenth century. The Halton Region Master Plan research determined that undisturbed lands within 100 metres of the early settlement roads may also be considered to have potential for the presence of Euro-Canadian archaeological sites, including the north-south roadway, Sixth Line, running adjacent to the western boundary of the study area. Similarly, lands within 100 metres of settlement features noted on the historical mapping, such as the homestead as indicated in the 1877 Atlas, may also be considered to exhibit archaeological potential, although it should be noted that the accuracy with which features were plotted on these maps is limited. Therefore, based on the presence of the historic farmhouse and the proximity of Sixth Line, there is potential for the recovery of historical archaeology remains within the study area.

9 7 3.0 STAGE 2 ASSESSMENT 3.1 Field Assessment The Stage 2 field assessment was carried out in order to inventory and describe any archaeological resources extant within the subject area prior to development. The Stage 2 assessment of the subject area was conducted under the field direction of Mr. Robert Wojtowicz November 8, 9, 12, 13, 16 and 19, The weather during this period was typically overcast and cold. There are several areas of disturbance located within the study area, including a farm complex consisting of a historic brick farmhouse, barns, and outbuildings with associated driveways and laneways located at 3369 Sixth Line (Figure 3; Plates 1 and 2). A section of the farm complex consisted of gravel on the surface north and south of the driveway. The historic farmhouse dates to 1848 and is located in approximately the same location as the farmhouse illustrated in the Atlas, and has been listed as the Mosely Farm house, a property of cultural heritage and value by the Town of Oakville, but has not been designated by the Province of Ontario (Town of Oakville: 2007). An open grassed area approximately 10 metres in width and directly adjacent to Six Line and curling around the southern limits of the pond in the northwest corner of the study area displayed clear evidence of being disturbed on the surface with heavy concentrations of gravel and clay (Figure 3; Plate 3). Disturbed areas are considered to have no archaeological potential and are therefore not surveyed. A small pond is located in the northwest corner of the study area (Figure 3; Plate 4). Low, wet areas are considered to have no archaeological potential and are therefore not surveyed. There is a grassed lawn area associated with the historic farmhouse and farm complex (Figure 3; Plate 5). This area was assessed by means of a test pit survey at five-metre intervals (Figures 3 and 4; Plate 6). The treed and open grassed areas surrounding the pond in the northwest corner of the study area was also subject to a test pit survey at five-metre intervals (Figure 3; Plates 7 and 8). Each test pit was hand excavated into the subsoil and consisted of a loamy clay topsoil with depths of between 30 and 35 centimetres. All soils were screened through six-millimetre mesh in order to facilitate the recovery of artifacts. All test pits were backfilled. The majority of the subject lands consisted of previously cultivated land with a loamy argillaceous soil that had been ploughed and allowed to weather through several successive rainfalls. The seasonal tributary of Morrison Creek was situated within the ploughed area which had no running water in it during the field survey and as such was incorporated into the pedestrian survey of the surrounding lands. As visibility and field conditions were excellent, these areas were assessed by means of pedestrian survey at an interval of five metres (Figure 3; Plates 9-11). During the course of the pedestrian survey two pre-contact sites, five pre-contact findspots, seven historical sites and one historical findspot were documented. During the test pit survey, one historical site was documented.

12 Results of the Stage 2 Assessment Two pre-contact sites, five pre-contact findspots, eight historical sites and one historical findspot were documented as a result of the field assessment. A pre-contact site is distinguished from a findspot by either the quantity of material encountered (>3 artifacts) or by the presence of a formal tool or diagnostic artifact such as a projectile point. A historical site is evaluated based on the quantity of the material encountered (>20 artifacts) and the presence of diagnostic artifacts, such as refined white earthenware with identifiable motif. The location data for the sites and findspots are summarized in Table 3.

15 Historical Sites and Findspots (AiGw-492) (H1) (17T , NAD 27, 178 m asl) AiGw-492 (H1) is located in a relatively low lying area that is directly southwest of the house and barn. The site consists of a diffuse scatter of approximately 100 artifacts. The site is approximately 85 metres by 75 metres in area and extends into the ploughed field from the edge of the grassed lawn (Figure 3). A representative sample of 20 artifacts was recovered. The ceramic assemblage, totalling 14 sherds, consists almost entirely of refined white earthenware (RWE) (57%) and ironstone (29%), both of which were ubiquitous as tablewares in the nineteenth century. The RWE features several different motifs, such as transferprint, floware and scalloped edgeware, each of which represent different date ranges as the styles of decoration on teawares and tablewares changed. However, they all date within the early-to-mid nineteenthcentury range, and were found to be common in rural homes of that time. The ironstone assemblage also features a range of motifs, including undecorated, painted, and moulded patterns. These ironstone motifs are commonly found within the late-nineteenth century within rural Ontario homes. The final ceramic sherds recovered from H1 are two sherds of stoneware (14%), a ware most commonly used as general kitchenware (Table 11; Plate 19). The non ceramic assemblage consists of five pieces of container glass of various design and decoration, most of which is coloured, as well as a fragment of a clay smoking pipe fragment (Table 12; Plate 19). The artifacts assemblage is characteristic of nineteenth-century domestic activities.

17 15 The Bourbee Site (AiGw-493) (17T , NAD 27, 178 m asl) The Bourbee site (AiGw-493) is located on a slight rise directly adjacent to Sixth Line, close to the southwestern corner of the property (Figure 3). The site extends approximately 62 metres in diametre. The entire observed scatter, totaling 149 artifacts, was collected. The ceramic assemblage (totaling 140 sherds) is dominated by three wares: pearlware (44%), creamware (23%), and RWE (26%). The pearlware assemblage consists of painted and printed teawares, as well as undecorated tablewares. The creamware assemblage consists entirely of undecorated tablewares. The RWE assemblage consists of painted and printed teawares, as well as scalloped edgeware and undecorated tablewares. The remaining ceramic assemblage consists of six sherds of red coarse earthenware (4%) and stoneware (1 %), each of which is ubiquitously found as kitchenwares throughout the nineteenth century (Table 13). The creamware and pearlware are commonly found in rural homes in the early-nineteenth century. RWE is commonly found in the early-to-mid-nineteenth century, depending on motif. The prominence of painted motifs in this assemblage indicates an earlier date range for the RWE. Finally, Jackfield (1%) and porcelain (1%) are tablewares dating from the early-nineteenth century (Table 14; Plate 20). The non-ceramic assemblage collected during the Stage 2 survey of the Bourbee Site (AiGw-493) consists of five sherds of window glass, one button, one sherd of olive container glass, and one indeterminate mammalian remain (Table 15; Plate 20). Overall, the artifact assemblage of the Bourbee Site (AiGw-493) is characteristic of an early-tomid-nineteenth century domestic occupation within the region.

The site consists of a diffuse scatter of six artifacts over an area of approximately 16 metres by 35 metres. All of the artifacts observed on the surface were collected. Ceramic artifacts recovered from AiGw-494 consist of four sherds of RWE in which one exhibits a hand painted late motif and single piece of glazed coarse red earthenware (Table 16; Plate 21). An additional incomplete machine cut nail was also recovered during the Stage 2 survey (Table 17; Plate 21). Overall, the artifact assemblage is characteristic of an isolated depositional event dating likely to the mid nineteenth century.

The site overlaps the pre-contact Morrison Creek site AiGw-501 (P3) and is located directly northwest of the historic farmhouse and utility shed (Figure 3). The site consists of a diffuse scatter of 51 historical Euro-Canadian artifacts measuring approximately 67 metres north-south and 130 metres east-west, and is bounded to the south by the grassed lawn surrounding the historic farmhouse. All observed artifacts were collected. The ceramic assemblage consists of sherds of RWE (43%), decorated in painted and printed motifs, stoneware (35%), red coarse earthenware (14%), and one sherd each of moulded ironstone (3%), factory-made mocha slip decorated yelloware (3%), and undecorated semi-porcelain (3%)(Table 18; Plate 22). The RWE is consistent with decorative motifs that were popular during the mid-nineteenth century, while the single yelloware sherd is an example of a slightly earlier date range in tableware form and decoration. The ironstone and semi-porcelain are reminiscent of late-nineteenth century rural styles while the stoneware and red coarse earthenware are ubiquitously found throughout the nineteenth century as kitchenwares. The non-ceramic assemblage recovered form AiGw-495 (H4) consists primarily of glass, both window and unidentified container glass. A single machine cut nail and lock bolt were also recovered (Table 19; Plate 22). Overall, the site assemblage is characteristic of nineteenth-century domestic activities.

In total, 28 artifacts were recovered. The ceramic assemblage consists of pearlware (14%), RWE (14%), ironstone (28%), and red coarse earthenware (28%). Pearlware is commonly found in the early nineteenth century, while the ironstone is more commonly found in the late nineteenth century, and the red coarse earthenware is found ubiquitously throughout the nineteenth century (Table 20; Plate 23). The non-ceramic assemblage consists mostly of nails, both machine cut and wire. Machine cut nails are commonly found between 1830 and 1900 in Ontario while wire nails enter the assemblage in the late nineteenth century and continue into the twentieth century. Various forms of glass were also recovered during the Stage 2 survey, including window glass, general container glass, and lamp chimney glass. One piece of modern soft drink container glass was also recovered (Table 21; Plate 23). Finally, one rib and two faunal remains of indeterminate species but of mammalian class were also recovered (Table 22). Overall, the assemblage is characteristic of nineteenth and twentieth-century domestic activities.

The site consists of a diffuse scatter of 150 artifacts from an area approximately 150 metres by 100 metres. A representative sample of 81 artifacts was collected. The majority of the ceramic assemblage consists of RWE (57%) which features a variety of motifs including transfer print, factory slip, floware, spongeware, as well as some undecorated

25 23 sherds. Each of these motifs represents a differing date range throughout the nineteenth century, as preference in styles changed from one period to another. The remainder of the assemblage consists of ironstone (16%), creamware (11%), red coarse earthenware (9%), pearlware (4 %) and semi-porcelain (4%) (Table 25; Plate 25). The non-ceramic assemblage consists primarily of various forms of container and window glass, a metal button, smoking pipe fragment, and several wire nails (Table 26; Plate 25). Three indeterminate faunal remains and three teeth, all of mammalian class, were also discovered (Table 27). Overall, the artifact assemblage is characteristic of the nineteenth and twentieth-centuries.

The site consists of a diffuse scatter of 90 artifacts from an area approximately 121 metres by 147 metres. A representative sample of 32 artifacts was collected. The ceramic assemblage collected during the Stage 2 survey consists almost entirely of RWE (90%). The RWE consists of printed, painted, scalloped edgeware, and undecorated motifs. These motifs were most commonly found on RWE during the mid-nineteenth century. One sherd of undecorated ironstone was also recovered, as well as three sherds of stoneware crockery (Table 30; Plate 27). The non-ceramic assemblage consists of various types of coloured and clear glass, all of an unidentifiable type. Three nails, both machine cut and wire, were recovered, as well as a fragment of a smoking pipe bowl (Table 31; Plate 27). One bird and one mammalian faunal remain were also recovered (Table 32). These artifacts are consistent with domestic and depositional activities within the mid-to-late nineteenth and twentieth century.

31 LAND USE HISTORY Introduction During the course of archaeological survey, eight historical sites and one historical findspot were registered in the Ontario Archaeological Sites Database on the north half of Lot 15, Concession 1 North of Dundas Street (NDS), Geographic Township of Trafalgar. The following research is presented to place the sites within the context of historic land use on the subject property. Development of Lot 15, Concession 1, NDS, Trafalgar Township A search of material at the Ontario Archives has revealed the following information. According to the Abstract Index to Deed Titles, the Crown Patent for Lot 15 was granted to the future Attorney General of Upper Canada, John Beverley Robinson in The patent was for all 200 acres. In 1812, Robinson sold part of the lot (50 acres) to Peter Dykineau and another part of the lot (50 acres) to Lockwood Street. In 1816, Dykineau and Street both sold their property to Daniel Munn, who immediately sold this 100-acre piece, described as the rear part, to Amelia Jones. Both Munn and Jones were early settlers in Trafalgar Township and it is unlikely that they resided on the property as they had established homes in the township. Two years later, in 1818, John Jones sold this part to Toronto lawyer D Arcy Boulton Jr., whose home, The Grange, still stands today on the Art Gallery of Ontario property. Boulton held the property on speculation until 1835, when he sold it to William Bourbee of Trafalgar Township. In order to confirm who may have resided on the property during this time, early assessment rolls were checked for the address of Lot 15, Concession 1 NDS. In 1827, William Bourbee was assessed for 100 acres on the north part of Lot 15, 35 acres of which were cultivated, and no house was included in the assessed value of the property, indicating that he still resided in a log cabin [AO, Microfilm of Assessment Rolls, Trafalgar Township, reel MS 700/3]. Given the quantity of land that had been cleared, it is probable that Bourbee was the first person to occupy the property and bring the land into agricultural production circa Bourbee continued to be assessed for 100 acres on the north half of the lot according to the 1846 and 1853 assessments. The number of acres under cultivation had risen to 60 by 1846 [AO, Microfilm of Assessment Rolls, Trafalgar Township, reel MS 700/4]. He sold the property to Robert William Biggar in Biggar then sold half an acre in the rear part of the lot to Henry Mosely in 1857, which likely contained the farmhouse established on the property. The 1858 Tremaine map, however, failed to illustrate any structures on the property of Henry Mosely on Lot 15. A year later, Robert Biggar quit-claimed 100 acres in the north half to C. Mosely in The agricultural returns included with the 1861 census confirmed the subdivision of the original 200 acre lot into two large farms, with 100 acres on the north half farmed by Henry Mosely. He was enumerated in the personal portion of the census as a 56 year-old Canadian-born widower who lived with his 12 children in a one storey brick house. The three oldest boys were enumerated as labourers. The family possessed 100 acres, of which 80 were cultivated. The farm s crops included wheat, barley, oats, Indian corn, potatoes, and turnips. The livestock included steers, cows, horses, sheep, and pigs [AO, Microfilm of 1861 Census Rolls, Trafalgar Township, reel C- 1031].

32 30 In 1861, Mosley sold the property to Richard Halloran. The 1877 Historical Atlas of Halton County illustrated the homelot of N[on] R[esident] Richard Halloran on Lot 15, including a farmhouse in the approximate location of the existing structure at 3369 Sixth Line, and an extensive orchard between the farmhouse and the Sixth Line. No other structures were illustrated on Halloran s property. Although the 100-acre farm remained in the Halloran family at the close of the nineteenth century according to the deed abstracts [AO, Abstract Index to Deed Titles, Trafalgar Township, reel GSU ], late nineteenth-century assessments and censuses indicate that after Richard Halloran purchased the property in 1861, the farm was operated by multiple tenant families. For example, the agricultural returns included with the 1871 census listed John Halloran as a tenant farmer on 100 acres. He was described as a 66 year-old Irish-born widower who lived with his three children. Their crops included wheat, barley, oats, peas, potatoes, hay, and apples, and the livestock owned included cows, sheep, and swine. The family did not own any dwelling houses [AO, Microfilm of 1871 Census Rolls, Trafalgar Township, reel C-9955]. The 1881 assessment listed Richard Halloran as the freeholder of 100 acres and William Ackerman was described as the tenant [AO, Microfilm of Assessment Rolls, Trafalgar Township, reel G.S. 3410]. The 1891 assessment enumerated Francis Ford (yeoman) on the property of Margaret Halloran (freeholder) [AO, Microfilm of Assessment Rolls, Trafalgar Township, reel G.S. 3411]. A total of seven families were enumerated for Lot 15 in the 1901 census. The person likely residing on the north half was Grant Ford. He was described as a 38 year-old Ontario-born farmer who lived with his wife, four children, and one farm helper. The family leased 100 acres and lived in a brick house that had eight rooms [AO, Microfilm of 1901 Census Rolls, Trafalgar Township, reel T-6471]. To summarize the preceding information, the process of bringing the land on Lot 15 into agricultural production was begun by William Bourbee circa He purchased his 100-acre farm in 1835 and continued to be assessed for land on Lot 15 until he sold it to Robert Biggar in Biggar in turn sold a half-acre homelot to Henry Mosely in 1857 and quit-claimed the remaining land to C. Mosely in This family did not occupy the property for very long, however, and in 1861, the north 100 acres was sold to Richard Halloran. Late nineteenth-century assessments and censuses indicate that the farm was operated by multiple tenant families who resided in a brick farmhouse that is still standing today at 3369 Sixth Line. Given that the material culture of the Bourbee site (AiGw-493) is in a discrete location and includes ceramic wares characteristic of the early-to-mid nineteenth century, it is probable that it marks the residence of pioneer William Bourbee. Thus, the site represents a tightly-dated domestic homelot significant to the growth of Trafalgar Township in the first half of the nineteenth century. If it cannot be avoided within the development plan, it should be subject to a comprehensive Stage 3-4 excavation. The diagnostic artifacts collected from the test pit survey around the brick farmhouse located at 3369 Sixth Line include decorated refined earthenware ceramics, glazed coarse earthenware kitchenwares, machine cut nails, container glass and faunal bone. It has been registered in the Ontario Archaeological Sites Database as the Mosely Farm House site (AiGw-496). If the site comprises primary midden deposits, these would represent the daily activities of the Mosely family, who occupied the farmhouse circa 1861, as well as tenant families who lived on the farm in the nineteenth century. A Stage 3 archaeological assessment should be conducted to define the

33 31 site extent, gather a representative sample of artifacts and aid in the determination of a Stage 4 mitigation strategy if one is required. As far as can be determined using archival documents, no other residences were constructed within the 100-acre farm during the second half of the nineteenth century. The remaining historical archaeological sites, therefore, represent random material that has been dispersed throughout the property as a result of farming activities. The material probably originated on the farm but is now in the context of multiple low-density, diffuse, secondary deposits. H1 (AiGw- 492), for example, is dispersed throughout an 87 metre x 75 metre area illustrated as the orchard circa The H1 (AiGw-492), H4 (AiGw-495), H6 (AiGw-497), H7 (AiGw-498), H8 (AiGw- 499) and H9 (AiGw-500) sites and findspot H3 (AiGw-494) do not warrant further investigation.

34 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS A Stage 1 and 2 archaeological assessment was carried out for the Argo Property located on Part of Lot 15, Concession 1, NDS, formerly in the Geographic Township of Trafalgar South, now in the Town of Oakville, Regional Municipality of Halton. The Stage 1 background research indicated that the subject lands exhibited significant archaeological potential, primarily due to the presence of: 1) a seasonally active tributary of Morrison Creek that meanders across the subject land; 2) 61 previously registered pre-contact and historic archaeological sites within a one-kilometre radius; and 3) the location of a historic homestead illustrated on the 1877 Historic Atlas. A Stage 2 archaeological assessment was carried out in the portions of the study area which have archaeological potential. Previously cultivated agricultural fields were assessed by pedestrian survey at 5 metre intervals and the grassed lawns and wooded areas were test pitted at 5 metre intervals. As a result of the Stage 2 field assessment, five pre-contact findspots; P2, P4, P5, P6, P7, two precontact sites; P1 (AiGw-504) and The Morrison Creek Site (AiGw-501), eight historical sites; H1 (AiGw-492), The Bourbee Site (AiGw-493), H4 (AiGw-495), The Mosely Farm House Site (AiGw-496), H6 (AiGw-497), H7 (AiGw-498), H8 (AiGw-499) and H9 (AiGw-500) and one historical findspot H3 (AiGw-494), were documented. In light of these findings, we offer the following recommendations. 1. Given the isolated nature of the artifact recovered, pre-contact findspots P2, P4, P5, P6 and P7 do not represent significant archaeological resources and may be considered free of any further archaeological concern. 2. Given the isolated nature of the artifact recovered, pre-contact site P1 (AiGw-504) does not represent a significant archaeological resource and may be considered free of any further archaeological concern. 3. The Morrison Creek Site (AiGw-501) represents a potentially significant archaeological resource that demonstrates potential to provide insight into the pre-contact aboriginal occupation of the study area. Should it not prove possible to protect this site from disturbance, the site should be subjected to Stage 3 archaeological assessment in order to further clarify the extent, archaeological integrity, artifact density, and significance. The Stage 3 archaeological assessment should commence with a controlled surface collection to precisely define the nature and extent of the site. This work will require that the site area be reploughed and allowed to weather a least one substantial rainfall prior to our commencing with this work. The location of each artifact should be mapped with the aid of a tape measure and transit and a surface map produced for the site. Once this is completed, a series of one-metre square test units should be excavated within the estimated site area to determine the nature and extent of cultural deposits. The test units should be excavated to sterile subsoil, and soil fills screened through six millimetre wire mesh to facilitate artifact recovery. The subsoil should be trowelled and all profiles

35 33 examined for undisturbed cultural deposits. In the event that significant cultural features are encountered, further archaeological mitigation would be undertaken. At the conclusion of the Stage 3 investigations, recommendations should be made either to proceed to Stage 4 salvage excavation which would likely consist of the excavation of additional one-metre units, expanding upon the excavation area or to consider the site free of any further archaeological concern. No grading or other activities that may result in the destruction or disturbance of any of the archaeological sites documented by this assessment are permitted until notice of Ministry of Culture approval has been received. 4. H1 (AiGw-492), H4 (AiGw-495), H6 (AiGw-497), H7 (AiGw-498), H8 (AiGw-499), H9 (AiGw-500) represents material introduced through depositional and continuous agricultural events within the study area. As such these remains do not represent significant archaeological resources and may be considered free of further archaeological concern. 5. H3 (AiGw-494) is a findspot which represents an isolated deposit of historic material. As such, the deposit is not a significant resource and no further work is recommended. These remains do not represent significant archaeological resources and may be considered free of further archaeological concern. 6. The Bourbee Site (AiGw-493) is a significant archaeological resource which has potential to shed light on the early-to-mid nineteenth-century Euro-Canadian settlement of Trafalgar South Township. If it is not possible to protect this site from disturbance, it should be subjected to a comprehensive Stage 3&4 salvage excavation. Such research should commence with a controlled surface collection to determine the precise extent of the site. Prior to initiating this work, the site area should be reploughed and allowed to weather through several rainfalls. The location of each artifact would then be mapped with aid of a transit and a tape. The results of this mapping exercise should then be used to guide the placement of a series of one-metre square test units to investigate and sample the nature and extent of cultural deposits in the plough zone. All test units should be hand excavated to sterile subsoil and the soil fills screened through six millimetre mesh in order to facilitate artifact recovery. The subsoil should be trowelled and all profiles examined for undisturbed cultural deposits. Additional excavation of contiguous one-metre squares should be carried out in areas of significant archaeological deposits as warranted. A Gradall should then remove the topsoil within the site area and the exposed subsoil should be carefully examined for the presence of cultural features. If no features are observed, a recommendation may then be made to clear the site area of any further archaeological concern. Should archaeological deposits be encountered, these deposits must be thoroughly documented and excavated by hand.

36 34 No grading or other activities that may result in the destruction or disturbance of any of the archaeological sites documented by this assessment are permitted until notice of Ministry of Culture approval has been received. 7. Given the nature of the mid-to-late nineteenth century deposits at the Mosely Farm House Site (AiGw-496) and considering the property s land use history, this site represents a significant archaeological resource. A Stage 3 archaeological assessment should be conducted to define the site extent, gather a representative sample of artifacts and aid in the determination of a Stage 4 mitigation strategy if one is required, in accordance with the Ministry of Culture s Standards and Guidelines for Consulting Archaeologists Final Draft (2006). A Stage 3 Archaeological Assessment is a series of one-metre square test units excavated throughout the area where positive test pits were documented. The test units should be excavated to sterile subsoil and soil fills screened through 6 mm wire mesh to facilitate artifact recovery. The sterile subsoil should be toweled and all soil profiles examined for undisturbed cultural deposits. At the conclusion of the Stage 3 investigations, a determination for Stage 4 mitigation will be made for this site if required. No grading or other activities that may result in the destruction or disturbance of any of the archaeological sites documented by this assessment are permitted until notice of Ministry of Culture approval has been received. 8. The remaining lands may be considered clear of any further archaeological concern. 9. In the event that deeply buried archaeological remains are encountered on the property during construction activities, the office of the Regulatory and Operations Group, Ministry of Culture, should be notified immediately. In the event that deeply buried archaeological remains are encountered on the property during construction activities, the office of the Regulatory and Operations Group, Ministry of Culture, should be notified immediately. 10. Furthermore, in the event that human remains are encountered during construction, both the Ministry of Culture and the Registrar or Deputy Registrar of the Cemetreies Regulation Unit of the Ministry of Consumer and Business Services should be notified immediately. The documentation and materials related to the archaeological assessment of the property will be curated by until such a time that arrangements for their ultimate transfer to Her Majesty the Queen in right of Ontario, or other public institution, can be made to the satisfaction of the landowner, the Ontario Ministry of Culture, and any other legitimate interest groups.
