Now in Owen Sound, the big grey-and-white unit began a three-year tour of the province in Barrie on July 5 and then made a stop in Midland. Next week it moves to Goderich where it will be situated on East Street off the Courthouse Square. Admission is free and visitors will, be welcoine from 1, to R p.m. ' Visitors to the Museumobile will be introduced to the work of ROM archaeologists and their "digs" in five different areas: Old Jerusalem; Godin Tepe in Iran; Altun Ha in British Honduras; and, in Ontario at Hungry Hall (an • Indian berial area) and Fort Albany (an early trading post). The displays that tell the story consist of colour and black-and,-white PlOtograPhe, text and real artifacts' (there are mg repro due tidiI)14!YIL"-,P2 'T he Mu S'eU'eni 6'bri tractor-trailer unit was obtained' by the ROM from the. Centennial Commission. It originally was part of the Centennial caravan-that travelled across Canada in 1967. With the aid of a Canada Council grant, it Was converted by ROM archaeologists and design staff. Education Minister William Davis ,officially opened the unit in a ceremony at the Museum in Toronto May 30. Each section of the Museumobile is intended to answer some of the questions frequently asked about the work of archaeologists. The one on Jerusalem illustrates how dateable evidence is used to chart the city's growth through the ages. Dr. A. D. Tushingham, the museum's chief archaeologist who took part in the recently 'completed excavations, provided ?material for the display. The Museumobile section on ,IAltun Ha, an excavation still in progress in British Honduras, answers "how do archaeologists know where to dig?" Photographs that follow show the jungle site and the progressive uncovering of Maya temples. The Alton Ha dig, directed by ROM archaeologist, Dr. David Pendergast, has produced many valuable artifacts including a stunning carved jade head of a sun god. The head, weighing almost ten pounds, is the largest Maya jade object ever discovered. The section on Godin. Tepe also concerns a ROM excavation still in progress in Iran under the direction of Dr. T. C. Young. It illustrates how one eivilization is built on the ruins of another and also describes the methodology of archaeology. Pottery sherds as well as reconstructed pottery and bronzes found at the site are shown. Accurate', drawings and photographs reveal 5,000 years of' civilization uncoVered by excavations that go. doivil 90 feet. The two excavations at Hungry Hay., and ,Fort Albany in ` dotario. ;were completed a few Srettlinai bN2,„kithe ROM's '''WB.Iter fl4liSral Hungry Hall an early Indian burial site and the displays describe ,burial practices of the inhabitants about 750 years ago. Fort Albany, a Hudson's Bay trading fort, was constructed with imported bricks. The displays describe the buildings and the life of the Europeans at the fort in the late 17th century: The Museumobile is a further attempt to extend the ROM into Ontario communities. Design of ROM Museumobile No. 1 (a second is being planned) was supervised by John Anthony, chief of the ROM's display department. He was assisted by Lisl Levinsohn of his department-in consultation with the office of the chief archaeologist. The displays were constructed by Panex Inc., Toronto. Mrs. Levinsohn says the Museumobile attempts to show that 'archaeology is a complex science.. and an absorbing life. Before an artifact goes on display, the amount of work is immense — the excavation, photography, research identification, conservation or repair, and authentication. Perhaps most important, the Museumobile attempts to answer _the "why" of archaeology. In a final statement, Di. Young, now working at Godin Tepe, Iran writes in part: "In trying to find out where we are going as human beings, it helps a lot to have some idea where we have been ... Tne study of the past gives us perspective on ourselves and our culture that we can get in no other way..." But in the end, Dr. Young admits, archaeologists, like other historians, study the past because it is there -- and it is fun. 'And, he says, "having, fun by *sing tc4diiirk sbraLos *'sing of any kind is one of the important things we do that make us human." Voli douse tree blaze Clinton firemen responded Sunday evening to a call from the farm'of John Ivan Kurelech, RR 4, Clinton, and hosed down a burning elm tree which it was feared would topple into a field of standing oats. The 'tree was reportedly set afire by straw and stubble being- burned off an adjacent field belonging to a neighbouring farm. Several tail light lenses on the town's new fire truck were broken in the bumpy ride to the burning tree, but damage was said to be minor.
