Any medication and allergy medicine (i.e. inhalers, epipens etc) Spare trainers or boots (for after the activity) We provide dry barrels/bags and dry bags so you can keep your spare kit dry. If possible avoid wearing wellington boots (difficult to swim in). If you wear glasses it’s a good idea to tie some string to them. If it’s summer, then sun screen is a good idea. Avoid taking expensive electronic devices or jewellery in the canoe. There is limited room in a kayak to put KIT in so think carefully what you want to take.

A Lesson in Stone: Examining Patterns of Lithic Resource Use and Craft-Learning in the Minas Basin Region of Nova Scotia By
A Lesson in Stone: Examining Patterns of Lithic Resource Use and Craft-learning in the Minas Basin Region of Nova Scotia By © Catherine L. Jalbert A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies for partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2011 St. John’s Newfoundland Abstract Examining the Late Woodland (1500-450 BP) quarry/workshop site of Davidson Cove, located in the Minas Basin region of Nova Scotia, a sample of debitage and a collection of stone implements appear to provide correlates of the novice and raw material production practices. Many researchers have hypothesized that lithic materials discovered at multiple sites within the region originated from the outcrop at Davidson Cove, however little information is available on lithic sourcing of the Minas Basin cherts. Considering the lack of archaeological knowledge concerning lithic procurement and production, patterns of resource use among the prehistoric indigenous populations in this region of Nova Scotia are established through the analysis of existing collections. By analysing the lithic materials quarried and initially reduced at the quarry/workshop with other contemporaneous assemblages from the region, an interpretation of craft-learning can be situated in the overall technological organization and subsistence strategy for the study area. ii Acknowledgements It is a pleasure to thank all those who made this thesis achievable. First and foremost, this thesis would not have been possible without the guidance and support provided by my supervisor, Dr. Michael Deal. His insight throughout the entire thesis process was invaluable. I would also like to thank Dr.

My Friend, Jean Clottes
CHAUVET THROUGH THE EYES OF A SCULPTOR When Jean Clottes invited me to join his team for the investigation of the Chauvet cave that was discovered on December 18th 1994, he warned me that I would not be able to visit until the entrance had been widened, and he thought that this would take at least 18 months. That didn’t worry me in the least as after seeing the photographs of what was on the cave walls, I would have been happy to wait three years, or even five, for such a privilege! My friend, Jean Clottes Also I had heard Jean’s own story of his first visit to the cave with Chauvet, Deschamps and Hillaire. I don’t have any trouble with tight spots in caves, in fact rather enjoy the challenge, but am not sure that squeezing 845 through a one foot-high letterbox that ran for 40 foot was quite my cup of tea. I was quite happy to wait until the tunnel had been widened. I had over a year to prepare myself for what would be the greatest artistic experiences of my life, but how do you prepare yourself for seeing 35,000-year- old paintings, especially when you have seen the photographs and know they are works of astounding beauty? What I decided was that where possible I would avoid looking at any photographs of Chauvet for the coming year. Unfortunately, I would occasionally see pictures in magazines, but I purposely didn’t study them, only read the articles. I wanted the paintings to be as fresh to my eyes as possible, as though I was discovering them for myself.

Ardèche Press File
Ardèche press file www.ardeche-guide.com © M. Dupont © M. The Ardèche can be summed up in three words: passion, beauty and talent. Prehistoric man came to the region as long as 36,000 years ago and laid the first foundations of art on the walls of the Chauvet-Pont d’Arc Cave, now classified as a Unesco World Heritage Site. It took passion and genius to tame the wild and awe-inspiring landscapes of Ardèche, such as the Ardèche Gorges, Mont Gerbier de Jonc, and the mountain and valley of Eyrieux. These little corners of paradise are also part of a precious and fragile local heritage that all who live and work here are more determined than ever to respect and conserve. Words are not enough to describe Ardèche, you have to experience it, by canoe or kayak, via ferrata or bike, by exploring some of the charming medieval villages perched on the moun- tainsides or by taking a detour to some of the fortresses that guard over the Rhône Valley and its prestigious wines. 2 CONTENT General information 4/5 Cultural heritage 26 What’s new 6 Top 5 tourist sites 27 Amazing accommodation 28 Follow the line of the watershed 7 UNESCO World Heritage 10 Camping, the ‘in’ thing 30 Wine tourism 12 Gastronomy 32 Follow the Craftsmen’s Trail 13 ‘Toqués d’Ardèche’ 33 ‘Maison du Gerbier’ 14 The wine trilogy 34 Places to visit 15 AOP Châtaigne d’Ardèche 38 Amazing water activities 16 Michelin starred chefs 40 Ardèche by bike 17 Bistrots de Pays 43 Cultural heritage & sites 22 Ardèche main events 44 Nature sites 23 Thrilling experiences 24 The secret world of caves 25 Crédit photo couverture : D.

Basketry of the Wabanaki Indians
Encyclopaedia of the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine in Non-Western Cultures DOI 10.1007/978-94-007-3934-5_10220-2 # Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015 Basketry of the Wabanaki Indians Jennifer S. Neptunea* and Lisa K. Neumanb* aMaine Indian Basketmakers Alliance, Indian Island, ME, USA bThe University of Maine, Orono, ME, USA The Wabanaki The Wabanaki (People of the Dawn Land) are living Algonquian-speaking indigenous Native North Americans whose traditional homelands comprise what is today northern New England in the United States as well as Southeastern Quebec and the Canadian maritime provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. In the United States, there are ﬁve federally recognized Wabanaki tribes, all of which reside in the state of Maine: the Penobscot Nation (with a reservation in Penobscot County, Maine), the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Pleasant Point or Sipayik (with a reservation in Washington County, Maine), the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Indian Township (also with a reservation in Washington County, Maine), the Houlton Band of Maliseet (in Aroostook County, Maine), and the Aroostook Band of Micmac (also in Aroostook County, Maine). The Wabanaki also own trust lands (property with federal status owned by the tribe or tribal members) and fee lands (taxable property owned by tribal members but for which a tribe regulates use) in other parts of the state of Maine (Fig. 1). As of 2014, there were approximately 8,000 people on the membership rolls of the ﬁve Wabanaki tribes in Maine, with a far greater number in Canada. A note here on terminology is important to avoid confusion.

CANOE TRAIL Wyalusing State Park and the U.S
TIPS FOR USING THE CANOE TRAIL Wyalusing State Park and the U.S. Fish Wildlife Service maintain a canoe/kayak area in the backwaters of the Upper Mis- sissippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge. Visitors can bring their own canoes/kayaks or rent them from the Con- cession Stand in the Peterson Shelter on the Wisconsin Ridge Campground. Getting on the canoe trail: To get to the canoe trail, turn right (north) at the boat landing and look for the canoe trail signs on the island on the left. Getting through the canoe trail: At several points along the canoe trail, logs and branches may appear to block the trail, but there should be a small open- ing in each. The park and refuge maintain the trail with openings just large enough for canoes to pass (but too small for speedboat traffic). Should a tree be completely blocking the trail, please mark the spot on this map and inform the park staff at the office. Safety tips: All craft must be equipped with a Coast Guard approved lifesaving device for each person aboard. Wearing of these devices at all times is recommended. Don't overload your craft and never attempt to stand in your canoe. While canoe- ing on the Mississippi River you will likely be sharing the river with other watercraft and you may experience wave and current action. If you canoe on the main channel, plan your route to canoe downstream and stay as close to the shoreline as possible. We want you to have a safe and enjoyable trip! Answers to frequently asked questions The large birds often seen wading in shallow water or sometimes perched in trees are herons or egrets, not cranes.

Units Featuring Tlingit Language, Culture and History Elder/Culture Bearer Were Developed in Juneau, Alaska in 2004-6
Grade Levels K-2 Cultural Significance For hundreds of years, the ocean and the forest have provided life sustaining resources for the Tlingit and Haida people of Southeast Alaska. Using red and yellow cedar trees they made their homes, canoes, clothing, tools, dishes, baskets and monument poles.
