Abstract:
Project Goals: The Smithsonian Institution’s 2013 Gateways Project was designed to complete a decade of research on the Basque-Inuit site at Hare Harbor-1 (EdBt-3) with excavations both on land and underwater, and to conduct test excavations at the Hart Chalet Inuit village site (EiBh-47) in Brador. Gateways was initially planned to explore and further refine the long-term culture history of the Quebec Lower North Shore, but in recent years focused primarily on LNS Basque and Inuit history from ca. 1550-1750, and the interactions between these two groups and with the local environment. Th is year’s field activities at Hare Harbor included excavation of an activity area between the Inuit house (S4) and a Basque cook-house (S1) in the previously unexplored central beach area of the site, and expansion of the underwater excavations conducted in 2012. Work at the Hart Chalet Inuit village site was planned to refine its date of occupation and obtain information on its house construction and midden inventories. Details of these activities are reported here. Work was conducted by a team of eight between 30 July and 23 August.
