Bytown on its 200th Anniversary: Learning From Ottawa’s First Settlers Through Bioarchaeology
Did you know that below downtown Ottawa lies the remnants of the city’s first settlers’ graveyard, Barrack Hill Cemetery? Why is it there? Why wasn’t it moved? Who was left behind?
Join Dr. Janet Young, Curator of Biological Anthropology, as she marks the 200th anniversary of Ottawa by exploring the history behind the creation and usage of Barrack Hill Cemetery; how Nicholas Sparks, Colonel John By, and the Ordnance played a role in its development and demise; and some of the interesting stories that have emerged from studying the remains of those left behind.
