Newfoundland
Don Holly, graduate student

I am interested in hunter-gatherer history and archaeology in Subarctic North America and the Canadian Maritimes. Much of my research has focused on the island of Newfoundland. Since 1995 I have excavated a PaleoEskimo site in Bonavista Bay (see photo below), conducted archival work on hunter-gatherer settlement patterns, and led an archaeological survey of Fogo Island, Notre Dame Bay (photo to right). I am currently exploring the social, historical, and environmental contexts of Recent Indian and Beothuk adaptations in Newfoundland, with the aim of writing a hunter-gatherer history of the period from A.D. 400 to A.D. 1829.
