The Scott Site (BcGk-1) was excavated in 1966 as a Trent University archaeological field school under the supervision of Dr. Romas Vastokas. It is an important unpublished multi-component site in the Rice Lake area of Ontario, a region with many Archaic and Middle Woodland sites, but very few that have been comprehensively analysed or published.  Legacy collections such as this are important sources of information and they offer the opportunity for analysis without further disruption to the archaeological record. The Scott Site collection is a case study illustrating the importance of sustainable archaeology and the ethical dissemination of archaeological data. Despite being stored for 53 years, this assemblage makes a significant contribution to knowledge about the cultural history of the Rice Lake region. This presentation reviews the history of the excavation, and outlines the characteristics of the lithic, ceramic and faunal assemblages.
