The Nova Scotia Archaeology Society (NSAS) was formed in 1987 in response to a growing interest in the Province's heritage resources. It is our mandate to bring together individuals interested in the study and promotion of archaeology, particularly as it relates to all cultures of Nova Scotia; to disseminate knowledge and encourage the exchange of information among professionals and amateurs alike; and to promote the preservation and protection of archaeological sites and resources throughout the Province. Interested in archaeology?Why not come to our upcoming public lecture on April 28? Koreen Millard and Douglas Stiff will discuss their research using Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), a remote sensing data collection technique that has many applications in the field of archaeology including aiding in the planning of field campaigns, mapping features beneath forest canopy, and providing an overview of broad, continuous features that may be indistinguishable on the ground. And don't forget to join the Nova Scotia Archaeology Society today.

Members are encouraged to come, and bring a guest. The first part of the tour, taking about an-hour-and-a-half, covering most of the actual walls and the two foundation sites, is accessible through light to moderate hiking. An optional second part, requiring more strenuous hiking and bush-whacking, will be offered for those who are interested. It will cover some of the seldom seen related ruins in the Chain Lakes Watershed area to the east of the walls. This will take an additional two hours, or longer, depending on interest.
