It's been a while since the last Indiana Jones flick came out.
To satisfy the curiosity of all historical adventurers in town, the McGill branch of the Burnaby Public Library is hosting a talk by archeologist Bob Muckle next week.
Secrets of the Forest: an Archaeologist Explores the North Shore, will be held Tuesday, April 9 from 7 to 8:45 p.m.
In this presentation, Muckle will provide an overview of what he and his students have discovered in the Seymour Valley area of North Vancouver - along with a selection of the more than 2,000 artifacts recovered from the ground where early residences and logging camps once stood - including a piece of a camera excavated from within the walls of a buried bathhouse in a secret Japanese camp. He will also tell the tale of accidentally finding a marijuana grow-op and evaluating a purported sasquatch lair.
Muckle's primary research and teaching interests include the indigenous peoples of North America, human evolution and all things archaeological. He directs the Seymour Valley Archaeology Project, which focuses on documenting early 20th century heritage sites in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve, and he has written two books on this subject.
There is limited seating for this event, so get there early to avoid disappointment. For more information, call the library at 604-299-8955 or visit www.capilanou.ca/universe.
