Description du lieu patrimonial
The archaeological site BeCr-04 is found within Clam Harbour Provincial Park, Nova Scotia. The site contains pre-contact Mi’kmaq artifacts including ceramics and stone tools circa 2500-500 B.P.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the archaeological site BeCr-04, within Clam Harbour Provincial Park, resides in its association with pre-contact Mi'kmaq. During the 1981 archaeological excavation a number of artifacts were found, many were tools and ceramics, most dating back to 1,000-2,000 years before European contact. The artifacts found suggest a seasonal occupation, which spanned many generations.
The ceramic fragments found at this site, as well as other sites, have enough detail that archaeologists can tell the fragments were once pots which could be used for cooking and storage. Stone tools found at this site include stone hammers that fit comfortably in the palm of a hand, as well as stone choppers and scrapers.
