STAGE 1 ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF CLEARVIEW NORTH PART OF LOT 27, CONCESSION 3, GEOGRAPHIC TOWNSHIP OF NOTTAWASAGA TOWNSHIP OF CLEARVIEW, COUNTY OF SIMCOE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ASI was retained by CGE Capital Management Inc. to undertake a Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment of the Proposed Development of Clearview North, part of Lot 27, Concession 3, Geographic Township of Nottawasaga, now in the Township of Clearview, Simcoe County. The subject property encompasses approximately 39 hectares.
The Stage 1 assessment entailed consideration of the proximity of previously registered archaeological sites, the original environmental setting of the property, along with nineteenth and twentieth-century settlement trends. This research has led to the conclusion that there is potential for the presence of pre-contact Indigenous and historical Euro-Canadian archaeological resources.
The Stage 1 archaeological assessment has resulted in the identification of approximately 80% of the subject property exhibiting archaeological potential. Therefore, a Stage 2 archaeological assessment is required on all undisturbed lands in accordance with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport’s 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists.

1.0 PROJECT CONTEXT
ASI was retained by CGE Capital Management Inc. to undertake a Stage 1 archaeological assessment of the proposed development of Clearview North, part of Lot 27, Concession 3, Geographic Township of Nottawasaga, now in the Township of Clearview, Simcoe County (Figure 1). The subject property encompasses approximately 39 hectares.
1.1 Development Context
This assessment was conducted under the project management of Ms. Beverly Garner and project direction of Mr. Andrew Clish (MTCS P046-0229-2016). All activities carried out during this assessment were completed in partial fulfillment of the pre-development approval requirements, as required by the Ontario Planning Act. All work was completed in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport’s 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists.
Permission to access the subject property and to carry out all activities necessary for the completion of the assessment was granted by the proponent on June 23, 2016.
1.2 Historical Context
A Stage 1 archaeological assessment involves research to describe the known and potential archaeological resources within the vicinity of a subject property. The background research for such an assessment incorporates a review of previous archaeological research, physiography, and nineteenth and twentieth- century development for the subject property.
The subject property is located within part of Lot 27, Concession 3, Geographic Township of Nottawasaga. The property is now situated within the Township of Clearview, Simcoe County. The subject property encompasses lands on the west side of the former Canadian National Railway (CNR) south of Sideroad 27/28. The subject property currently consists of an extant farm complex with associated agricultural lands, in addition to wooded, scrub and grassed lands. The subject property also features a hydro corridor near the west limit.
1.2.1 Historical Overview
Township of Nottawasaga
The township was named in 1832 after the Nottawasaga River, derived from the Ojibwa word nahdowasaga, meaning “outlet of the river of the Iroquois.” Early maps dating from 1828 and 1836 describe the north part of the township as Java, and the south part as Merlin (Rayburn 1997:251).
The Township of Nottawasaga was first surveyed in 1833 by Thomas Kelly, a government surveyor. A second survey took place later in 1833, by Charles Rankin, who noted irregularities in the original survey. By 1834, the first settlers arrived in the township, many from the Island of Islay in Scotland, while others arrived from Ireland and Germany. Settlement was slow, largely because the 200 acre lots assigned to United Empire Loyalists were not all settled. Many Loyalists received the patent for their parcels, but held the land on speculation, or sold their rights to speculators. The first settlement in the township was located
ASI Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment of a Proposed Development of Clearview North Page 2 Part of Lot 27, Concession 3, Township of Nottawasaga, County of Simcoe at Dunedin, on the banks of Noisy River, approximately 22 km southeast of Collingwood. This settlement had been previously named Bowerman’s Hollow, after early setter Israel Bowerman built the township’s first grist mill (Mika and Mika 1983:95-96).
The first roads in the township followed Aboriginal trails. In exchange for supplies, early pioneers began clearing huge tracts of land including those areas for new roads. However, settlers had to carry goods on their backs from Barrie until a time when a government overseer was appointed. By 1842, the population was 420. Population began to increase in 1844, when a road linking Barrie, Bomore, Meaford and Owen Sound was completed (Mika and Mika 1983:95-96).
Stayner
The origins of Stayner vary. First called Warrington, the name was later changed to Nottawasaga Station when the Ontario, Simcoe and Huron Railway was extended from Lake Simcoe to Georgian Bay ca. 1854-1857. In 1855, a post office with the same name was established by Donald Baine, a lumber merchant and storekeeper. In 1857, the village name was changed to Dingwall, and by 1864, both the post office and village took the name of Stayer. The name Stayner may have been in honour of Thomas Allen Stayner, a postmaster general of Upper and Lower Canada. Or perhaps his son, Sutherland Stayner, owned extensive properties in the area (Mika and Mika 1983:442-443; Rayburn 1997:328-329).
The first settlers arrived in the mid-1850s: Andrew Coleman built a roughhewn hotel for railway workers and Gideon Phillips built the first sawmill. Village lots were laid out by Edward Shortiss and Charles Lount who owned much of the land in Stayner. Due to the presence of the railway, the town flourished, becoming a centre for agricultural and lumber trade. Stayner was incorporated as a village in 1872, and by 1888, Stayner was incorporated as a town, owning the distinction of the smallest town in Ontario for several years (Mika and Mika 1983:442-4423).
1.2.2 Review of Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Historical Mapping
Reviews of the 1871 Hogg’s Map of the County of Simcoe and the 1881 Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of Simcoe were completed in order to determine if these sources depict any nineteenth-century Euro-Canadian settlement features that may represent potential historical archaeological sites on the property (Figures 2-3). It should be noted that not all features of interest were mapped systematically on the Ontario series of historical maps and atlases, given that they were financed by subscription, and subscribers were given preference with regard to the level of detail provided on the maps.
The 1871 Hogg’s Map depicts the subject property within the west half of Lot 27, then owned by A. Baker (Figure 2). The subject property is located on the west side of the Northern Railway (formerly the Ontario, Simcoe and Huron Railway), and north of the settlement of Stayner. Present-day Sideroad 27/28 flanks the northern edge.
The 1881 Historical Atlas depicts no historical features, nor any land tenure within the subject property (Figure 3). Interestingly, Side Road 27/28 is shown as proposed and/or unimproved at this time. Also interesting to note is the depiction of the settlement of Warrington south of Stayner, suggesting they were two separate communities. Further, a watercourse is illustrated immediately east of the property limits.

1.2.3 Review of Historical Archaeological Potential
The MTCS’s Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011:18) stipulates that areas of early Euro-Canadian settlement, including places of early military pioneer settlement (pioneer homesteads, isolated cabins, farmstead complexes), early wharf or dock complexes, pioneer churches and early cemeteries, are considered to have archaeological potential. There may be commemorative markers of their history, such as local, provincial, or federal monuments or heritage parks. Early historical transportation routes (trails, passes, roads, railways, portage routes), properties listed on a municipal register or designated under the Ontario Heritage Act or a federal, provincial, or municipal historic landmark or site, and properties that local histories or informants have identified with possible archaeological sites, historical events, activities, or occupations are also considered to have archaeological potential.
For the Euro-Canadian period, the majority of early nineteenth century farmsteads (i.e., those which are arguably the most potentially significant resources and whose locations are rarely recorded on nineteenth century maps) are likely to be captured by the basic proximity to the water model, since these occupations were subject to similar environmental constraints. An added factor, however, is the development of the network of concession roads and railroads through the course of the nineteenth century. These transportation routes frequently influenced the sitting of farmsteads and businesses. Accordingly, undisturbed lands within 100 metres of an early settlement road are also considered to have potential for the presence of Euro-Canadian archaeological sites.
Given the proximity to the historically important transportation routes of Sideroad 27/28 as well as the former CNR line, there is the potential of encountering nineteenth-century historical sites within the subject property, depending on the degree of recent land disturbances.
1.3 Archaeological Context
This section provides background research pertaining to previous archaeological fieldwork conducted within and in the vicinity of the subject property, its environmental characteristics (including drainage, soils or surficial geology and topography, etc.), and current land use and field conditions.
1.3.1 Registered Archaeological Sites
In order that an inventory of archaeological resources could be compiled for the subject property, three sources of information were consulted: the site record forms for registered sites housed at the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, published and unpublished documentary sources, and the files of ASI.
In Ontario, information concerning archaeological sites is stored in the Ontario Archaeological Sites Database (OASD) which is maintained by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. This database contains archaeological sites registered within the Borden system. The Borden system was first proposed by Dr. Charles E. Borden and is based on a block of latitude and longitude. Each Borden block measures approximately 13 km east-west by 18.5 km north-south. Each Borden block is referenced by a four-letter designator, and sites within a block are numbered sequentially as they are found. The subject property under review is located within the BcHa Borden block.

While no sites have been registered within the subject property limits, one site has previously been registered within a one km radius (Table 1). The Lamont site (BcHa-8) is a Late Woodland burial located approximately 400 metres southwest of the subject property. A general outline of Southern Ontario prehistory is presented in Table 2.

1.3.2 Previous Assessments
One archaeological assessment has been completed within 50 metres of the current subject property. In 2010, ASI completed a Stage 1 archaeological assessment in advance of development on the property immediately south under MTCS PIF P049-510-2010. The study area comprised approximately 25 hectares, and the assessment determined that entirety of the study area retained archaeological potential warranting a Stage 2 assessment (ASI 2010).
1.3.3 Physiography
The subject property is situated within the Stayner Clay Plain within the Simcoe Lowlands physiographic region of southern Ontario (Chapman and Putnam 1984:299-307), which borders Georgian Bay and Lake Simcoe. The lowlands were once flooded by ancient Lake Algonquin, thus the majority of the soils consist of sand, silt and clay. The Stayner Clay Plain is complex and is comprised of areas with deep beds of calcareous clay, beveled till plain with pebbly till in other areas, as well as calcareous clay beneath several feet of sand (Figure 4).
ASI Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment of a Proposed Development of Clearview North Page 5 Part of Lot 27, Concession 3, Township of Nottawasaga, County of Simcoe
The subject property is located within the watershed of the Lower Nottawasaga River. Lamont Creek, a tributary of the river, currently flows though the subject property (Figure 5). The Lamont Creek area is dominated by rich agricultural lands (NVCA 2013).
1.3.4 Review of Pre-contact Archaeological Potential
The MTCS’s Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists ( MTC 2011:17) stipulates that primary water sources (lakes, rivers, streams, creeks), secondary water sources (intermittent streams and creeks, springs, marshes, swamps), ancient water sources (glacial lake shorelines indicated by the presence of raised sand or gravel beach ridges, relic river or stream channels indicated by clear dip or swale in the topography, shorelines of drained lakes or marshes, cobble beaches), as well as accessible or inaccessible shorelines (high bluffs, swamp or marsh fields by the edge of a lake, sandbars stretching into marsh) are characteristics that indicate archaeological potential.
Potable water is the single most important resource necessary for any extended human occupation or settlement. Since water sources have remained relatively stable in south central Ontario after the Pleistocene era, proximity to water can be regarded as a useful index for the evaluation of archaeological site potential. Indeed, distance from water has been one of the most commonly used variables for predictive modeling of site location.
Other geographic characteristics that can indicate archaeological potential include: elevated topography (eskers, drumlins, large knolls, plateaux), pockets of well-drained sandy soil, especially near areas of heavy soil or rocky ground, distinctive land formations that might have been special or spiritual places, such as waterfalls, rock outcrops, caverns, mounds, and promontories and their bases. There may be physical indicators of their use, such as burials, structures, offerings, rock paintings or carvings. Resource areas, including; food or medicinal plants (migratory routes, spawning areas, prairie) and scarce raw materials (quartz, copper, ochre, or outcrops of chert) are also considered characteristics that indicate archaeological potential (MTC 2011:18).
Therefore, given the presence of Lamont Creek within the limits of the subject property, there is the potential for the identification of pre-contact Indigenous archaeological resources, depending on the degree of later developments or soil alterations.
1.3.5 Subject Property Description
The subject property is approximately 39 hectares in size, and encompasses lands on the west side of the former CNR south of Sideroad 27/28 (Figure 6). The subject property currently consists of an extant farm complex and associated agricultural lands, in addition to wooded, scrub and grassed lands. The subject property is level to undulating, varying between 222 and 214 metres asl.
2.0 FIELD METHODS
The Stage 1 field review was conducted on July 20, 2016 in order to gain first-hand knowledge of the geography, topography and current conditions, and to evaluate and map archaeological potential of the subject property prior to development. All fieldwork was conducted by Mr. Andrew Clish (P046). The
ASI Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment of a Proposed Development of Clearview North Page 6 Part of Lot 27, Concession 3, Township of Nottawasaga, County of Simcoe weather conditions and lighting were appropriate for the completion of fieldwork as they permitted good visibility of the land features.
The field review was conducted by means of a visual inspection of the subject property that involved random spot-checking across all accessible portions of the property. This strategy is consistent with Section 1.2 Property Inspection, Standard 1 of the 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists. Photo locations and field observations have been compiled on project mapping (Figure 7). Representative photos documenting the field conditions during the Stage 1 property inspection are presented in Section 7.0 of this report.
2.1 Findings
Fronting on Sideroad 27/28, is an extant farm complex consisting of a house, outbuilding and a former barn foundation accessed by a long laneway (Plates 1-2). Much of the lands to the south and east of the farm complex consist of associated agricultural lands (Plates 3-4).
A hydro corridor is present along the west portion of the property, and cuts through dense wooded areas in the southwest and northwest corners (Plate 5). A berm is located near the hydro corridor in the southwest corner of the property. Hydro poles are also present within the agricultural fields.
The east-central and southeast portions of the subject property are covered with dense scrub bush, tall grasses and mature trees. Lamont Creek meanders through the property limits and feeds into a low area that has likely been modified evidenced by the culvert that directs the water under the former railway corridor and continues the flow eastward.
Based on these findings, the footprints of the extant structures and laneway are considered to have no archaeological potential. Also, the hydro corridor in the southwest portion of the property contains a berm that was like created during the installation of the hydro poles. According to 2.1 Property Survey, Standard 2b of the 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists, the disturbances noted at these locations are considered too deep and extensive to warrant further survey. The disturbed areas account for approximately 5% of the subject property.
Lamont Creek which meanders through the property limits is also considered to have no archaeological potential. According to 2.1 Property Survey, Standard 2a (i) of the 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultants Archaeologists, permanently wet areas are considered to have no or low potential. The creek accounts for approximately 15% of the subject property.
The balance of the subject property consists of agricultural lands, in addition to wooded, scrub and grassed lands. Therefore, the remaining 80% of the subject property is found to contain the potential for encountering archaeological resources.
3.0 ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION
ASI was retained by CGE Capital Management Inc. to undertake a Stage 1 archaeological assessment of the proposed development of Clearview North, part of Lot 27, Concession 3, Geographic Township of Nottawasaga, now in the Township of Clearview, Simcoe County. The subject property encompasses approximately 39 hectares.
ASI Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment of a Proposed Development of Clearview North Page 7 Part of Lot 27, Concession 3, Township of Nottawasaga, County of Simcoe
The Stage 1 assessment entailed consideration of the proximity of previously registered archaeological sites, the original environmental setting of the property, along with nineteenth and twentieth-century settlement trends. This research has led to the conclusion that there is potential for the presence of pre- contact Indigenous and historical Euro-Canadian archaeological resources.
The Stage 1 archaeological assessment has resulted in the determination that approximately 80% of the subject property is found to contain the potential for encountering archaeological resources. As such, a Stage 2 archaeological assessment is required in order to document any potentially intact archaeological resources.
4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
In light of these results, the following recommendations are made:
1. Prior to any land-disturbing activities within the subject property, a Stage 2 archaeological assessment must be conducted in accordance with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport’s 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists.
a. The Stage 2 archaeological assessment must be carried out on all agricultural or open lands within the subject property by means of a pedestrian survey. The fields must be ploughed in advance of survey and allowed to weather for at least one substantial rainfall. Ploughing must be deep enough to provide total topsoil exposure, but not deeper than previous ploughing. The pedestrian survey should be completed at five metre transect intervals as outlined in the 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists.
b. The balance of the Stage 2 archaeological assessment must be carried out on all undisturbed wooded, scrub and grassed lands within the subject property by means of a test pit survey. All test pits must be excavated at least five cm into sterile subsoil, with all soils being screened through six mm mesh to facilitate artifact recovery. All test pits must be at least 30 cm in diameter and backfilled upon completion. Test pits must be excavated within one metre of all built structures. Test pits must be excavated at five metre transect intervals as outlined in the 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists.
NOTWITHSTANDING the results and recommendations presented in this study, ASI notes that no archaeological assessment, no matter how thorough or carefully completed, can necessarily predict, account for, or identify every form of isolated or deeply buried archaeological deposit. In the event that archaeological remains are found during subsequent construction activities, the consultant archaeologist, approval authority, and the Cultural Programs Unit of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport should be immediately notified.
The documentation related to this archaeological assessment will be curated by ASI until such a time that arrangements for their ultimate transfer to Her Majesty the Queen in right of Ontario, or other public institution, can be made to the satisfaction of the project owner(s), the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, and any other legitimate interest groups.

5.0 ADVICE ON COMPLIANCE WITH LEGISLATION
This report is submitted to the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport as a condition of licensing in accordance with Part VI of the Ontario Heritage Act, RSO 1990, c 0.18. The report is reviewed to ensure that it complies with the standards and guidelines that are issued by the Minister, and that the archaeological field work and report recommendations ensure the conservation, preservation and protection of the cultural heritage of Ontario. When all matters relating to archaeological sites within the project area of a development proposal have been addressed to the satisfaction of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, a letter will be issued by the ministry stating that there are no further concerns with regard to alterations to archaeological sites by the proposed development.
It is an offence under Sections 48 and 69 of the Ontario Heritage Act for any party other than a licensed archaeologist to make any alteration to a known archaeological site or to remove any artifact or other physical evidence of past human use or activity from the site, until such time as a licensed archaeologist has completed archaeological field work on the site, submitted a report to the Minister stating that the site has no further cultural heritage value or interest, and the report has been filed in the Ontario Public Register of Archaeology Reports referred to in Section 65.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
Should previously undocumented archaeological resources be discovered, they may be a new archaeological site and therefore subject to Section 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act. The proponent or person discovering the archaeological resources must cease alteration of the site immediately and engage a licensed consultant archaeologist to carry out archaeological fieldwork, in compliance with sec. 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act.
The Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002, S.O. 2002, c.33, requires that any person discovering or having knowledge of a burial site shall immediately notify the police or coroner. It is recommended that the Registrar of Cemeteries at the Ministry of Consumer Services is also immediately notified.
Archaeological sites recommended for further archaeological fieldwork or protection remain subject to Section 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act and may not be altered, or have artifacts removed from them, except by a person holding an archaeological licence.
