interpretation of the site, as well as the nearby lighthouse station on île aux Perroquets.The remains are believed to be associated with the wreck of the Clyde, a transatlanticsteamer stranded and lost on île du Wreck in 1857.Daly, Aoife (University College, London) Oak in Northern Europe (13) Viking ships inroyal burials, barrel staves discarded on a smithy floor, panels as the support for paintingsby the Dutch Masters, beams in the roofs of cathedrals, planks lining a latrine. Amultitude of contexts: all linked by oak. Through precise chronology and identification oforigin, a history of trade links and timber resource exploitation throughout NorthernEurope, over time, can be told. Dendrochronological study of oak in the region, over thelast 50 years or so, has resulted in the accumulation of an enormous tree-ring dataset. Thegenerous sharing of data between scholars has allowed links between a wide diversity ofmaterial contexts. Tree-rings are the key to the nature of Northern Europe’s forest and it’sexploitation by humans, to the balance between regions with surplus and those withshortage, to connections between regions and to mechanisms of trade, both of timberobjects and of timber as a raw material.Damkjar, Eric and Joan (Archaeological Survey of Alberta) A Tale of TwoLonghouses: Archaeological Vignettes from the South and the North (23) This papertouches on two of Peter Ramsden’s favorite research areas – dealing with sites we had theprivilege to investigate with Peter. In the Upper Trent Valley of Southern Ontario, theCoulter site is a late 16 th century Iroquoian village that saw continued expansion at a timewhen the St. Lawrence Iroquois were experiencing great demographic disruption – eventsthat may be reflected in the small but growing amounts of St. Lawrence Iroquois potteryat Coulter. An unusual artifact from Coulter may provide a more tangible link with the St.Lawrence River Valley – what we believe to be a “pottery decorator” made from seamammal bone. During two field seasons exploring the archaeological terra incognita ofPrince of Wales Island, Nunavut, we were struck by the paucity of Late Dorset sites – butthere was one. We will draw a tentative connection between the non-descript Wicklowsite and Late Dorset Longhouses.Danek 1,4 , Malgorzata, André Robichaud 2 , Colin P.

Determining theabsolute age of larch structural elements from the 1800s is hindered by the lack of a longlivedregional master chronology. Today, the tree is only found in bogs, and when located,it is usually under 100-years old. This research describes how the MAD Lab sought out anumber of long-lived larch chronologies from living trees, and extended the regionalchronology back in time by adding wood from structures. In this case study, we will
