- The 4,000 year old Maritime Archaic Indian cemetery in Port au Choix, discovered in 1967, is one of the richest archaeological burial sites in the world. Filled with elaborate grave goods, the cemetery is suggestive of a thriving and successful culture. But what of the habitation site of these people who buried their dead with such care and obvious ceremony? The life of these inhabitants has eluded archaeologists for years. For the better part of two decades, Dr. Priscilla Renouf has searched in vain for the settlement site of these ancient aboriginal people. Discouraged but not defeated, she re-evaluated her strategy during the summer of 1996. With increasing dramatic tension, this engaging documentary weaves the stories of a passionate human journey and methodical scientific exploration. It reveals a place and its peoples; and the amazing connection between the community of Maritime Archaic Indians who lived in that place four thousand years ago and the community of Newfoundland fishers who call it home at the end of the twentieth century.
