Northeast Historical Archaeology/Vol. 41, 2012 1 The Seventeenth-Century Brewhouse and Bakery at Ferryland, Newfoundland Arthur R. Clausnitzer, Jr. and Barry C. Gaulton In 2001 archaeologists working at the 17th-century English settlement at Ferryland, Newfoundland, uncovered evidence of an early structure beneath a mid-to-late century gentry dwelling. A preliminary analysis of the architectural features and material culture from related deposits tentatively identified the structure as a brewhouse and bakery, likely the same “brewhouse room” mentioned in a 1622 letter from the colony. Further analysis of this material in 2010 confirmed the identification and dating of this structure. Comparison of the Ferryland brewhouse to data from both documentary and archaeological sources revealed some unusual features. When analyzed within the context of the original Calvert period settlement, these features provide additional evidence for the interpretation of the initial settlement at Ferryland not as a corporate colony such as Jamestown or Cupids, but as a small country manor home for George Calvert and his family.

  • 'A Large House on the Downs': Household Archaeology
    ‘A LARGE HOUSE ON THE DOWNS’: HOUSEHOLD ARCHAEOLOGY AND MIDDLE-CLASS GENTILITY IN EARLY 19TH-CENTURY FERRYLAND, NEWFOUNDLAND by © Duncan Williams A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland February 2019 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador ii ABSTRACT This thesis uses a household-based archaeological approach to examine changing settlement patterns and lifeways associated with a period of crucial change on Newfoundland’s southern Avalon Peninsula – namely the first half of the 19th century. The period witnessed a significant increase in permanent residents (including a large influx of Irish Catholic immigrants), the downfall of the migratory fishery (and resulting shift to a family-based resident fishery), and radical political/governmental changes associated with increased colonial autonomy. As part of these developments, a new middle class emerged composed mainly of prosperous fishermen and individuals involved in local government. A micro-historical approach is used to analyze a single household assemblage in Ferryland, thus shedding light on the development of a resident ‘outport gentry’ and changing use of the landscape in this important rural centre. Though likely initially built by a member of Ferryland’s elite (Vice-Admiralty Judge William Carter), the major occupation of the structure, as seen archaeologically, appears to be represented by the tenancies of two upper middle-class families. Comparative analysis places this household and its social landscape in the broader community of Ferryland, as well as emergent upper middle-class society in North America. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes much to many individuals and organizations, and it will be difficult to properly acknowledge them all in the space of a couple pages.

This third annual report produced by Small Craft Harbours Branch, Newfoundland Region, covers the major activities of the Branch for the fiscal year 1985/86. During the fiscal year continuing efforts were made towards planning of the Small Craft Harbours Program to better define and priorize projects, and to maximize the socio-economic benefits to the commercial fishing industry. This has been an on-going process and additional emphasis was placed on this activity over the past three years.

  • Sensitivity, Exposure, and Vulnerability of Gravel Beaches to Petroleum Pollution, Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada
    Environmental Problems in Coastal Regions VI 225 Sensitivity, exposure, and vulnerability of gravel beaches to petroleum pollution, Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada N. Catto & B. Etheridge Memorial University, St. John’s NL, Canada Abstract The Avalon Peninsula lies directly adjacent to a major trans-Atlantic shipping route, and to offshore petroleum development and areas of ongoing exploration. The cultural and socio-economic significance of the established fisheries, increased tourism, and endemic petroleum pollution exemplified by the arrival of oiled seabirds on the Avalon beaches, indicate that the potential impact of petroleum contamination is significant. Study of gravel beaches showed differences in morphology, sedimentology, energy regime, and sediment transport. These characteristics change the fate and effect of petroleum contamination on each beach. Beaches have been ranked on their sensitivity to oil pollution based on their physical characteristics. The beaches are gravel dominated, reflective systems, with sediment transport varying from shore normal on some beaches to both shore normal and shore parallel transport on others. The movement of sediment, litter, and seaweed in the nearshore and beach environments provides analogies for how oil will behave. Lower energy beaches will not self-clean as well as the high energy, steeper sloping, highly reflective beaches, and are thus more sensitive to pollution. Petroleum contamination potentially can come from both offshore and terrestrial sources. For a particular beach, the risk of contamination depends upon the population demographics, socio-economic circumstances, type and intensity of economic activity, location with respect to shipping lanes and petroleum development, transport regime, and beach dynamics. The degree of exposure to potential petroleum contamination from both offshore and terrestrial sources has been categorized, and forms a basis for assessment of the risk of contamination on each beach.
