"At each logging camp a familiar discovery was a wood burning stove or oven. The one pictured {above} had stumped some former students of Muckle's in the past because the student who helped recover the stove had read an engraving on the side saying "To Jake". After pondering upon this curious inscription, it was realized that the "J" had incorrectly been read, and the whole etching had actually said "To Bake", commonly found on ovens."

I noticed that the Capilano University Archaeology Field School, which just started a few days ago near Vancouver, has a blog. So far there are three days worth of entries and it looks like it will be a lot of fun to follow along with the students who, under the direction of Bob Muckle, will be continuing to work on the archaeology of historic logging in the Seymour River Watershed, which flows into Burrard Inlet. Much of the logging was conducted by Japanese immigrants, making for a nice overlay of ethnicity and capitalism and material culture.
