Tune in this fortnight for a new NB Archaeology Podcast series, “Great Sites.” In Great Sites episodes, we’ll showcase important archaeological sites from New Brunswick and the region.
This episode, we talk to Dr. Sue Blair of the University of New Brunswick about the Jemseg Crossing Site (BkDm-14), where she led one of largest scale archaeological excavations ever undertaken in the province. The project was also a pioneering collaborative archaeology project.
