Meredith-Goodall Site In Ontario

THE MEREDITH-GOODALL SITE [Source (links added)]

"This site...situated on a Berrien sand knoll...is located on part of Lots 5 and 6, *Front Concession, Howard Township, Kent County. The neutral to alkaline Thames clay loam underlying the acidic Berrien sand of this site...was laid down during the glacial lakes Warren and Whittlesey stages."

*[Elsewhere it was noted that the 1st Concession and Front Concession were interchangeable terms for the same location]

"The knoll was a detached portion of the terminal end of the old Thames River delta, formed when the mouth of this river emptied into these lakes a few kilometres east of the site. At present, the Thames River flows some 300 m north of the site and is fed by the Julien Drain, a modern reworking of the old Ardwell Creek...".

"This [excavating] resulted in the recovery of additional ochre and copper-stained human bone (some cremated), portions of perforated marine shell "gorgets", copper beads, a worked antler tine, Middle and Late Woodland pottery, and a considerable amount of animal bone, some of which was attributed to domestic animals."

"...Meredith-Goodall site notes and to have traced down and obtained access to nearly all the recovered material, now located at the Chatham-Kent Museum and three private collections."

Lenover Cemetery is located on Lot 4, Howard Township, Concession 1 (see Google Maps); Williams Cemetery, on Lot 6.  Lot 5 was once owned by my ancestor, William Howard.
