  • AN ENGRAVED SLATE POINT from SOUTHERN ONTARIO Richard B
    JOHNSTON: ENGRAVED SLATE POINT 23 AN ENGRAVED SLATE POINT FROM SOUTHERN ONTARIO Richard B. Johnston ABSTRACT A consideration and interpretation of a slate point bearing apparently notational engraving suggests that it may have been associated with Late Archaic ceremonialism. INTRODUCTION Some years ago a ground slate point was found north of Blairton, Ontario (Belmont Township, Peterborough County) in the shallow waters of the Crowe River a short distance north of Crowe Lake. It was a fortuitous and isolated discovery by a cottage owner, Mrs. H. J. (Joyce) Armstrong, presently of Peterborough, to whom I am indebted for her having brought the artifact to our attention and for subsequently depositing it in the collection of the Trent University Archaeological Centre (number 7PT23-1 from Borden location BcGk-4). What distinguishes this specimen from other slate points of the region and makes it of special interest is the extensive engraving cut into both faces of the point. THE POINT AND ENGRAVING The point is 124 mm in length, including a small allowance for damage at the tip, and has a maximum width of 32 mm near the base of the blade. The maximum thickness is 8 mm in the center of the midsection of the blade which has a lozenge-shaped cross-section with four flat external faces. The point weights 38.8 g and is made of a dark uniform slate; in terms of Munsell soil colours it would be described as very dark gray, approximating 2.5 YR 3/0. The form of the point is within the range exhibited by slate points of southern Ontario, although it is longer and narrower than average, while the base could be said to be atypical in that it is not the relatively long tapering or contracting stemmed form commonly seen on slate points.

(i) Executive Summary The 1991 Ontario Prospectors Assistance Program (OPAP) Funding was directed to a somewhat ignored copper mineralized area associated with volcanogenic iron formations in Lake Township, Grenville Province of Southeastern Ontario within the Eastern Ontario Mining Divison. Three unpatented claims, referred to as the Crowe River property, were staked at latitude 44 degrees 41 minutes North and longitude 77 degrees 45 minutes West, Concession III, Lots 17 and 18, to examine the prospects of economic mineralization in association with past sporadic gold and copper minor production occurrences. A technical report was requested by Mr. Uldis Abolins; it was the author©s decision to expand such a report into a more lucrative summation of the OPAP grant project. Generally, the Crowe River property lies southeast of Bancroft and northeast of Peterborough, a northerly one hour drive approximately 20 air miles north of Havelock within the Grenville Province of the Eastern Ontario Mining District, Ontario.

  • FLOOD WARNING Effective Immediately, 3:00 PM, 19 April 2019
    P.O Box 416, 70 Hughes Lane Phone: 613-472-3137 Marmora, ON Fax: 613-472-5516 K0K 2M0 www.crowevalley.com The Crowe Valley Conservation Authority has issued the following FLOOD WARNING effective immediately, 3:00 PM, 19 April 2019. FLOOD WARNING Rainfall received in the past 24 hours and forecasted for the next 24 hour period in combination with rapid snowmelt of the remaining snowpack in the CVCA watershed has contributed to increasing water levels and flows at a faster rate than previously recorded this spring. The rainfall will continue to increase flows and levels as the water continues to be collected quickly in the tributaries of the Crowe River. Therefore, a FLOOD WARNING has been issued, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. Current upward trends are expected to continue for at least the next 24 to 48 hours. High levels and flows are being experienced throughout the watershed. Currently, areas currently experiencing flooding or the potential for serious flooding include 1) the Crowe River from Cordova Lake south through the Village of Marmora until the Crowe empties into the Trent River, 2) Beaver Creek in the Marmora area and 3) Paudash Lake, Wollaston Lake, Chandos Lake, St. Ola (Limerick) Lake, Steenburg Lake, Cordova Lake, Belmont Lake and Crowe Lake. Municipalities, emergency services and individuals in flood prone areas should be prepared as these areas are especially at risk at this time for serious flooding. Increased flows and water levels on lakes, rivers and their tributaries are hazardous. Parents need to inform their children of these conditions. THEREFORE, THE CVCA URGES EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN TO STAY AWAY FROM ALL DAMS, WEIRS, HYDRO GENERATING PLANTS, BRIDGES.
