colonial subject. How does our unique “theoretical moment” impact our analysis of thecolonial endeavour elsewhere? If we are approaching shared anthropological themes fromunique perspectives (by comparison to our colleagues trained in distinctly American andEuropean schools) than how can we relate this in our work?Campbell, Jennifer L. (Archaeology Centre – University of Toronto) OpeningRemarks and Remarkable Openings: Dr. Peter Ramsden (23) Reflections on the careerand academic contributions of Dr. Peter Ramsden - a silver back of Canadianarchaeology.Cannon, Aubrey (McMaster University) Peopling the Millennial Past: Chronology,Memory, Factions and Events at Namu, British Columbia (23) From observations ofmicro-stratigraphy, differences in the content of midden deposits, and variable histories ofhouse construction and abandonment, Peter Ramsden has constructed a vivid history ofthe people of the Benson Site that convincingly reveals their perceptions, decisions andconflicts. Inspired by his efforts, this paper extends a comparable perspective to the scaleof the millennia-long history of occupation at the site of Namu. Patterns of sitedevelopment, variation in midden contents over time and the timing of villageestablishment at nearby locations evoke events, perceptions, actions and differences thatcan only be understood from the scalar perspective of the people responsible for thehistories represented. New refinements in the chronology of the Namu occupation add toan increasingly evocative history of the site, though, paradoxically, they also illustrate thelimitations of any capacity to see people and the details of their histories over such vastperiods of time. This paradox opens new questions regarding potential inconsistencybetween the reality of long-term cultural tradition and its role in contemporaryarchaeological narrative.Carruthers, Peter A Strange Encounter in 1960: Adventures in Ontology (23) Anunexpected encounter with Dr. Ramsden in Huronia during August, 1960 lead to a myrethinking of the entire structure of where I was going in archaeology. There is atendency to dismiss the brain development of 17 year olds. This is usually wise and basedon personal experience. Experience, for example, has taught us to be guarded whenworking too long in the sun and so some people wear hats. But how can you protectyourself from the power of Wendat villages when filtered through the genius of anevolving mind? Well, stick around and I'll tell you how Ramsden showed the way.Cencig, Elsa (Avataq Cultural Institute), Jennifer Bracewell (McGill University),Elspeth Ready (Stanford University), Hervé Monchot (Université Paris Sorbonne-Paris IV), Daniel Gendron (Avataq Cultural Institute) Aivirtuuq (Kangiqsujuaq,Nunavik) : Archaeology, fieldschool and potential for cultural tourism (7) Aivirtuuq is apeninsula located 40 km southeast of Kangiqsujuq (Nunavik). It is known to the Inuit asan old sea mammal hunting area, mostly walrus and bowhead whales. At the request ofNunaturlik Land Holding Corporation of Kangiqsujuaq, Avataq Cultural Insitute startedan archaeological project in this area. Supported by the CURA-ASI research program, thisproject aims to promote local knowledge and cultural tourism. In the summer of 2010 anevaluation of potential was undertaken at the site. About 20 archaeological sites are
