    “...gathering pebbles on a boundless shore...” — The Rum Beach Site and Intertidal Archaeology in the Canadian Quoddy Region (revised and extended version)
    (2018) Black, David W.
    During the past three decades a distinctive set of archaeological assemblages has been recognized and recovered from intertidal zones in the Canadian Quoddy Region. These discoveries began with the Rum Beach site on the Bliss Islands (Figure 1). Projectile points, drills, bifaces and lithic materials indicate that substantial portions of these assemblages have been eroded from sites dating to the Terminal Archaic period and the Terminal Archaic–Early Maritime Woodland transition (Table 1), as a result of rising sea levels. The locations where these assemblages have been found share several commonalities that distinguish them from the locations of more recent land-based archaeological sites in the Quoddy Region. Specifically, the Terminal Archaic–Early Maritime Woodland assemblages are associated with intertidal marsh deposits situated on landforms topographically lower than those where nearby, more recent, prehistoric and historic period sites typically are located. Moreover, the Terminal Archaic–Early Maritime Woodland assemblages are eroding onto shoreline segments dramatically different in orientation and exposure from the later sites. Avocational archaeologists have played important roles in the discovery, exploration and recovery of these assemblages

    Native Woods of New Brunswick - An Historical Glimpse of Canadian Forestry
    (2000-03-22) Savidge, Rodney, Arthur
    An artifact in book form of wood specimens produced from the Acadian Forest in 1861 is described and considered in relation to tree and shrub diversity within New Brunswick. Specimen names in this ‘wood book’ reveal problems in species nomenclature and classification that continue to affect forest management practices in Canada. Analysis of the historical setting prompted reflections about conservation, physiological diversity, silviculture, forestry education and tree science in relation to sustaining future survival fitness in trees.

    The mirror of Erised: seeing a better world through Harry Potter and critical theory
    (2017-10-31) Brownell, Ashlyn; Dale, Sarah; Dube, Claudia; Fernandez, Craig; Jardine, Chloe; Hamilton, Olivia; Hasson, Aneira; Henderson, Austin; Jefferies, Mick; Kenny, Madison; Lane, Cameron; Lawton, Erin; Le, Duc; MacLeod, Lydia; Mangusso, Grace; Masterson, Chantelle; Murphy, Mallory; Murray, Madison; Patten, Andrew; Pluta, Aiden; Pyke, Grace; Turner, Allison; Wiebe, Chloe; Zundel, Eric; King, Sarah L.; Thompson, Nathan J. A.
    In Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (Rowling, 1997), Harry Potter finds the Mirror of Erised hiding in a strange room deep in the labyrinth of Hogwarts castle. The mirror has a strange inscription on it “Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi” (Rowling, 1997, p. 118), which when mirrored says, I show not your face but your hearts desire. When Harry, orphaned at a young age, looks in the mirror, he sees the deepest desire of his heart – his family. A familiar trope in the study of children’s and young adult literature is the idea that literature can act as mirrors, windows, and doors (Botelho & Rudman, 2009; Sciruba, 2014). Through literature, readers can see themselves reflected in the characters of a story, can get a glimpse at others and how they live, and can step into a world that is both like and unlike their own...
