"Nineteen-ninety-two marked the fourth consequetive year of archaeological fieldwork within the Montague Harbour basin oriented to the identification and investigation of inundated cultural deposits. Fieldwork proper began August 13 and continued to September 8, 1992, with approximately two weeks additional work prior to and one week after this period to carry out logistical preparations and decommissioning. Besides the Principal Investigator, the project involved 5 hired staff persons and over 50 volunteer fieldworkers on both the land and under the water. Recorded vistitations to the site by members of the public exceeded 1,200, an increase of 400 over the previous year, partly due to increased media attention to the project which included television coverage at both the regional and national level."
