Fantastic Finds: Archaeology in Newfoundland and Labrador

Ever wondered about the histories hidden underground and at the bottom of the ocean?

This exhibition explores new and exciting archaeology discoveries in our province. From a 1400s English gold coin found on a beach, to ancient pottery fragments that shifted understandings of Labrador’s early peoples, from a mystery cargo of mid-1800s rifles snagged up from the ocean floor, to a collection of teeth extracted by a long ago dentist, druggist, barber or jeweler on Water Street–the scope of archaeological discoveries in Newfoundland and Labrador is astounding.
