Abstract

In the past two years the focus of research into the prehistory of Nova Scotia has been in the southeast end of the province. The Yarmouth area has a number of prominent private collections which are presently being catalogued, photographed and entered into a computer data base at Saint Mary's University. The existence of the collections, along with cooperation from the owners, has led to the recording of 46 sites in this part of Nova Scotia. A joint effort between Saint Mary's University and the University of Maine, Orono was directed towards the extensive testing of the Bain Site. The paper will address the progress to date with a summary of the chronology of southeastern Nova Scotia.
