Abstract:
This report describes archaeogeophysical fieldwork activities conducted on July 15, 2014
at the LdFa-1 site under Nunavut Archaeologist Permit 2014-22A. This research was
carried out in conjunction with a larger ongoing investigation of archaeological sites and
chert toolstone source locations in the deep interior region of southern Baffin Island (see
Milne NAP report #2014-24A). Dr. Brooke Milne (CEOS, Anthropology, University of
Manitoba) is the principal investigator on both projects. Project co-investigators include:
Drs. Robert Park (Anthropology, University of Waterloo), Mostafa Fayek (Geological
Sciences, University of Manitoba), and Douglas R. Stenton (Culture and Heritage,
Government of Nunavut). In 2014, Dr. Ian Ferguson (Geological Sciences, University of
Manitoba) joined the research team to oversee the archaeogeophysical survey at the site.
