Underground Halifax: Stories of Archaeology in the City - Erickson, Paul

Clean, tight, unmarked; gift inscription across title page; otherwise very minimal wear; Sixteen essays written by prominent figures in Halifax archeology. Greg Cochkanoff examines steamship china he's found in the depths of Halifax Harbour; David Christianson details the extraordinary story of First Nations archeology in the municipality; Earl Luffman leads us through a day in the life of two fictional 19th century Brigade Quartermaster Sergeants and their unenviable duties - inspecting the rather odorous sewage systems at Fort George and Fort Charlotte. This is history as you've never seen it - brought out of the archives, out of old books and letters, and into the very streets and building of Halifax today. In more than 200 projects in the Halifax Regional Municipality, archeologists have fleshed out - and even corrected - our understanding of the city's industry, culture, and citizens.
