Murphy & Ferris 1990:229). Two individuals from the bundle burials had modified skulls (post mortem); one
had a cut that had penetrated the brain cavity; the other had been perforated through the sagittal suture
(Lennox 1984:28). Other post mortem modifications were also noted on post-cranial material (Lennox
1984:33).
The individuals were reportedly removed from the area around the Betts Avenue and Toronto Street
intersection, however, a field archaeologist who had been working on the excavation with Wintemberg,
indicated that some of the skeletons had come from a low mound west of the main investigated area,
approximately 150 to 180 metres (500 to 600') away (Reid 1978). These skeletons probably came from what
is now referred to as the E.C. Row site.
Three decades passed before more investigations were carried out on the site. In 1967, John Lee and Harry
Bosveld conducted a ‘brief and small investigation ... for the Hiram Walker Historical Museum ...” (Reid
1978:25). In the intervening decades, the site had been largely disturbed or destroyed by the removal of soil,
and the deposition of refuse and fill (Reid 1978:4). The investigations conducted by Lee and Bosveld just to
the south of Toronto Street produced no significant results. A year later, Phil Wright investigated the site on
behalf of the City of Windsor and the Ministry of Transportation and Communication in advance of proposed
highway (EC Row Expressway) construction through the area (Reid 1978:7). Wright found no significant
archaeological remains and concluded that due to extensive site disturbance, the site did not warrant further
investigation or protection. However, concerns expressed by the Caldwell First Nation prompted the City
of Windsor and the Ministry of Transportation and Communication to retain Professor Peter Reid of the
University of Windsor to undertake further testing (Reid 1978). Despite Reid’s extensive coverage of the site
area, no more burials were found and only a minor amount of cultural material was recovered. Construction
of the expressway was allowed to proceed.
the site may have been occupied, possibly intermittently, over an extended period of time. The houses are
similar in size and shape to contemporary Iroquoian examples, but they lack internal features such as bunk
lines, end-house storage areas and pits, and hearths (Lennox 1984:35). These features may indicate a cabin
site occupation, where the structures were occupied only during warm seasons as a shelter from inclement
weather (Lennox 1984:35).
A total of six burial features containing the remains of 23 individuals were found (Lennox 1984:18). Field
recording was carried out on the skeletons, but since they were being re-buried at the end of the work day at
the bequest of Walpole Island Bkejwanong First Nation, no detailed observations were undertaken. The burials
consisted of bundle burials and infant cremations. The cremations had occurred elsewhere and were then
deposited at the site. The E.C. Row burial styles were not as diverse as those found at the adjacent Lucier site
(Lennox 1984:31 & 32). One parietal bone of an adult showed evidence of post mortem modification. This
skull bone had been intentionally perforated, or drilled (Lennox 1984:33)."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anaccuratesource (talk • contribs) 20:04, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
