Archaeology at the Baumann Site in Oro-Medonte — With the Ontario Archaeology Society - Huronia Chapter

About the Presentation: The Baumann Site is a 15th century settlement in Oro-Medonte. It was excavated several decades ago and is still the subject of specialist research, especially the pottery. The Baumann Village, located northwest of Warminster, is a small 15th century Wendat village site characterized by a large proportion of distinctive Lalonde High Collar pottery.
