Test excavations at three of these sites indicate rich deposits filled with cod, deer, caribou, rabbit, and goose bone, along with abundant decorated pottery fragments. This record will be utilized to understand how Mi kmaq social and economic systems evolved in this area as part of a larger Atlantic ecosystem. The ultimate aim of this research is to define the complex and dynamic interplay between ancient Mi kmaq culture and the environments they inhabited. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <h2 style='line-height:14.0pt'><strong><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></strong></h2> <h2 style='line-height:14.0pt'><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>February 20, 2009 (Special Night)</span></strong></h2> <p style='line-height:14.0pt'><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="Picture_x0020_242" o:spid="_x0000_s1036" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="Description: Two Hundred and Fifty Years Later: Finding the Oudy Family" style='position:absolute;margin-left:0;margin-top:0;width:191.25pt; height:135pt;z-index:251653632;visibility:visible;mso-wrap-style:square; mso-width-percent:0;mso-height-percent:0;mso-wrap-distance-left:3.75pt; mso-wrap-distance-top:3.75pt;mso-wrap-distance-right:3.75pt; mso-wrap-distance-bottom:3.75pt;mso-position-horizontal:left; mso-position-horizontal-relative:text;mso-position-vertical:absolute; mso-position-vertical-relative:line;mso-width-percent:0; mso-height-percent:0;mso-width-relative:page;mso-height-relative:page' o:allowoverlap="f"> <v:imagedata src="images/Feb2009-1.jpg"/> <w:wrap type="square" anchory="line"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><img width=255 height=180 src="images/Feb2009-1.jpg" align=left hspace=5 vspace=5 alt="Description: Two Hundred and Fifty Years Later: Finding the Oudy Family" v:shapes="Picture_x0020_242"><![endif]><strong><span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"'>Two Hundred and Fifty Years Later</span></strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>: <br> <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Finding the <span class=SpellE>Oudy</span> Family</b></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br> Presented by: <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Rob Ferguson</b>, Archaeologist, Parks Canada <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style='line-height:14.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"'>In 1758, British forces removed much of the Acadian population from their homes on <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Isle</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Saint-Jean</st1:PlaceName>, now <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Prince Edward Island</st1:State></st1:place>.

In the majority of cases throughout North America control over indigenous resources requires groups to demonstrate a continuous cultural relationship between present-day peoples and their past in contexts where First Nation expertise, academic scholarship and legal traditions collide in new and unforeseen ways. In general, these relationships have been predicated on identifying patterns of similarity with previous generations.

Dr. Vance <span class=SpellE>Tiede</span> is giving a talk at Saint Mary's University (only a few days before we usually have our monthly talk) and we urge our membership to attend Dr. <span class=SpellE>Tiede s</span> talk. There is no other NSAS talk this month. This talk has been organized by SMU Astronomy &amp;&nbsp;Physics as well as the&nbsp;Royal Astronomy Society of Canada, and is open to the public. This is very interesting and may spark some healthy debate, so we hope to see you there.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing style='margin-top:0cm;margin-right:7.5pt;margin-bottom: 0cm;margin-left:1.55pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:14.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing style='margin-top:0cm;margin-right:7.5pt;margin-bottom: 0cm;margin-left:1.55pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:14.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing style='margin-top:0cm;margin-right:7.5pt;margin-bottom: 0cm;margin-left:1.55pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:14.0pt'><strong><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Stonehenge Wars: The Great Neolithic Computer Controversy</span></strong><strong><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing style='margin-top:0cm;margin-right:7.5pt;margin-bottom: 0cm;margin-left:1.55pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:14.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Presented</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'> by <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight: normal'>Dr. Vance <span class=SpellE>Tiede</span>, </b><span class=SpellE>Astro</span>-Archaeology Surveys (Guilford, Connecticut)</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing style='margin-top:0cm;margin-right:7.5pt;margin-bottom: 0cm;margin-left:1.55pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:14.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing style='margin-top:0cm;margin-right:7.5pt;margin-bottom: 0cm;margin-left:1.55pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:14.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>An update on the astronomical significance of Stonehenge and its possible use as a predictor of eclipses.

Hawkins proposed an elegant, if novel, <span class=SpellE>astro</span>-archaeological interpretation for Stonehenge 3-I (ca. 2600 BCE), i.e., that the architecture was designed to function as an analog computer tracking the positions of the moon over recurring cycles of 56 years to predict eclipse  danger periods. Many archaeologists, particularly in England, dismissed this interpretation as too early, too sophisticated, too remote or based on fortuitous alignments.
