Wampum beads excavated this summer season at Ferryland, a very early 17thC settlement under an hour drive along coast west of St John’s. Amazing site for preservation of stone structures and evidence of wide Atlantic trade networks. #EarlyModern #Archaeology

The regional hub model is also bad -- universities outside the regional hubs get nothing, beyond what can be found through things like Collaborative Doctoral Partnership schemes. But the "Landscape" model is worse: only 50 universities have funding, at only 3 a year, across all arts and hums depts.
