Ontario farmer says he has to pay $400,000 in archeological fees to build a home on his field : canada | Farm has to cough up half a million because 6000 years ago some injun shat in his field

This man is 75 and wants to retire on the field he has ploughed, sown and farmed for decades. He already owned the land for years. Then he had to get an Archeological Assessment, as mandated by the Ontario Heritage Act, they did a first stage assessment, then a second stage and are now telling him he'll probably have to pay 400k to assess "134 pre-contact Aboriginal artifacts, including scrapers and projectile points, in an area of the field" so 134 arrow heads and curved rocks. Not sacred artifacts or anything of importance, but some arrowheads and curved rocks. Google indigenous scraper.

"About 15 meters away, archeologists found "12 pieces of Onondaga chert chipping detritus"" Not a spearhead, or the cowtools themselves, but the pile of chips from making the cowtools. Literally a pile of chipped rocks is gonna cost 400k to assess. They don't even excavate, they just walk along and see what's on the surface. $400,000.

We have First Nations peoples without clean drinking water, but half a million dollars is gonna go to some company that hires white grad students to assess scraps and stones.

He fricked up.

Shoulda brought in 5ft of clean fill and dumped it on top of the area he was planning on building.

He'd either not have to do the study, or they'd find nothing when they did it :).

My father in law just got out of an archeological study requirement on 2 land severances because he could prove the land had fill brought in and was disturbed. 20years ago.

Meanwhile the British had built a parking lot on top of the grave of King Richard III.
