Jackson New Caribou Fossil Records from Rice Lake 55 New Caribou Fossil Records from Rice Lake, South-Central Ontario: Radiocarbon Evidence and Middle Holocene Climatic Change Lawrence J. Jackson This paper discusses three new radiocarbon dates on fossil caribou bones from Rice Lake, Ontario, and their possible environmental implications. Three specimens identified by Howard Savage, of the University of Toronto, and Richard Harington, of the Canadian Museum of Civilization, indicate a middle Holocene caribou presence in this area of south-central Ontario. One specimen, previously reported as a possible Late Pleistocene record (cf. Pavlish and Alcock [1984] on Webb Bay), is radiocarbon-dated several thousand years later in the middle Holocene. Zonal pollen in Rice Lake cores suggests the principal occurrence of these dated Rice Lake caribou during a Hypsithermal warming between about 7,000 and 3,000 years B.P. The lack of fossil material for the late glacial period (terminal Pleistocene) is believed to correlate with the cur- rent inaccessibility of depositional environments due to flooding of ancient Rice Lake shorelines. The local presence of Early Palaeo-Indian sites, on the other hand, is highly suggestive of the presence of caribou at this time. The apparent absence of caribou during the early and late Holocene, as well as lack of evidence for their human exploitation throughout the Holocene, requires explanation. Introduction by a geologist during hillside cottage excavation. Dr. Howard Savage, of the University of Toronto Rice Lake is a 26 km long, narrow post-glacial Faunal Laboratory, identified this specimen as lake basin that connects the Kawartha Lakes with the left calcaneum of an adult caribou (Rangifer the Trent River and Lake Ontario.

Cultural History
Cultural History The First Settlers The discovery of a 9,500 to 10,500 year old Paleo-Indian projectile point just northwest of the Lock 22 Nature Area in Smith Township, suggests that the area around Trent University occasionally may have been visited by bands of nomadic hunter-gatherers following wandering herds of large mammals. About 3000 years ago, developments in tool making, clay cooking, and agriculture enabled native populations to subsist on smaller areas of land. The Hopewellian mound- builders, seminomadic hunter-gatherers who practiced limited farming, occupied this area approximately 2,100 years ago. The Hopewellians were displaced by the Iroquois about 1,000 years ago, who were in turn driven south beyond Lake Ontario by the Algonquin and Huron peoples. The Algonquins and Hurons left a substantial record of their presence in this region, including petroglyphs in Petroglyphs Provincial Park, some 35 km north-east of Peterborough, and village remains near Douro Lake. By the 1740s the Mississaugas, a sub-tribe of the Ojibwa of the Algonquin people, occupied this area and a region between present day Sault St. Marie and North Bay. It is not known whether native communities settled on any of the land comprising the Symons Campus, but it is likely that aboriginal peoples hunted and fished nearby as the Otonabee River was a major route for traveling north to the Kawartha Lakes. There are remains of longhouses at the east end of Stony Lake. If land was cleared, it may have been used to grow corn, beans, and squash. Soils in such clearings often became infertile after about 15 years of use, and then entire communities would move to other areas and again, using fire, create new forest clearings (Van Asten 1994) .

Five Americans Staying at Gore's Landing Using Rods and Reels Took 2300 Pounds of Maskalonge and Bass in Eight Days
Rice Lake Heritage Boat Tour “I went for a mile or two upon the ice but as the whole scene, however interesting and beautiful, appeared a vast uninhabited solitude, an extraordinary silence prevailed; no track of human feet, no appearance of human habitation.” Charles Fothergill, February 28, 1817 Introduction Rice Lake can’t help but captivate anyone who sees it. The largest of the Kawartha lakes and dotted with wooded islands, it presents an undeniably picturesque scene. Even in the early days, when settlers were more apt to conquer Nature than revere it, Rice Lake’s beauty did not go unnoticed. As early as the 1850s, it was already gaining acclaim among sport fishermen, canoeists, artists, poets and other Nature lovers. In particular, Gore’s Landing rose to become a popular summer resort, with several lakeside hotels and boat-builders catering to the tourist trade. Because of its proximity to Cobourg (itself a tourist town popular with Americans in the late 1800s), its reputation spread far and wide; many of Rice Lake’s biggest fans were from the United States, some from as far away as Cincinnati. Today, there are fewer lodges and guest houses, but the lake continues to bustle with tourists. Closer to Toronto than most of Ontario’s inland lakes, its shores have been lined with private cottages since the dawn of the automobile era In the early years, hard-working local farmers looked askance at the revelry of the tourist lodges and even today, year-round residents don’t always know much about their weekend neighbours.
