Of Bookish ThingsPriceless artifacts found near untouched #Beothuk site in central #Newfoundland #Canada.
Beothuk Lake was the last refuge for Newfoundland's #Indigenous group. They struggled with European diseases, violent encounters, and losing crucial migration routes to colonization. Shawnadithit, widely recognized as the last Beothuk, died in 1829.
Among the items found were a pair of deer spears — metal rods taken from European settlements and sharpened at the tip to kill caribou; they're perhaps the best preserved
spears uncovered by #Archaeologists.
