12 6.2 Environment Preserving the History of the Lower Churchill River The history of the lower Churchill River has been studied for over 40 years by a number of different archaeologists and folklorists. The area has been a key travel route to the Canadian interior for different groups, such as nomadic aboriginal peoples and the Hudson s Bay Company (HBC). This rich history has been tirelessly preserved since 2012 through the great work of the Project s lead archaeologists, Roy Skanes and Fred Schwarz, and their exceptional team of archaeologists and local assistants. Roy and Fred originally started working on the Project in 1998 when they completed a historic resources assessment of the Project area to identify the locations in the river valley where past users of the river frequented. The program was focused on the Muskrat Falls area in 2012 and 2013 where a series of campsites were located along the north and south side ancient portage trails. Approximately 75,000 artifacts were recovered at 30 sites ranging in age from 150 to 2,000 years old. Some examples of the artifacts include the remains of these campsites, fireplaces, tent structures, and stone tools, such as hide scrapers, spear points, arrow points, and knives left behind by the campers. It is also believed that one of the structures may have been used to build canoes. The work in 2014 and 2015 has shifted up-river to sites within the future Muskrat Falls reservoir. In 2015, the teams worked at Sandy Banks and Gull Lake, the two largest sites included in the program. These locations have been frequented by river users for up to 2,000 years. In 2015, the actual location of the HBC outpost was discovered at Sandy Banks, half way between Muskrat Falls and Gull Lake. This highly interesting site has yielded a wide array of artifacts, including refined earthenware and stoneware ceramics, the remains of two wooden buildings, a clay tobacco pipe, glass fragments (both window glass and bottles), a number of iron nails and spikes, metal barrel hoops, components of animal traps, gun flints fabricated from a black flint, and cut copper sheeting. The initial thoughts of the archaeologists suggest that there were at least two buildings at this site, one for accommodations with a large ornate cast iron woodstove and the other a store with a cellar. It is not hard to understand why many river travelers settled down for the night at the Gull Lake historic site. This sheltered inlet provides remarkable views down the Churchill River and out over the Lake. As with the camp sites previously unearthed downriver, these sites were utilized over 2000 years ago. What makes this site particularly interesting is the remnants of a 150 year old earth-walled tent ring which is unique to the Innu culture. This same site contains fascinating artifacts such as a musket barrel, copper strips, a thimble, and animal bone. The program has yielded over 150,000 artifacts to date and will continue into 2016, when the remaining recovery at the HBC site will continue, as well as other identified camp sites in the future reservoir.
