EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report details the Stage 1 archaeological assessment of the proposed future widening of Wonderland Road South, City of London, Former Geographic Township of Westminster, Middlesex County. The Wonderland Road subject corridor project limits are from Southdale Road West to Highway 401 (approximately 7.4 km), and 40 m each side of the existing Wonderland Road Right-of-Way (ROW). The Stage 1 assessment included a background study and visual assessment to determine the potential of the subject corridor for recovering archaeological resources. The subject corridor is along a transportation corridor which is dominated by commercial development in the north and agricultural land use in the south. It is in close proximity to multiple historic roadways and waterways, as well as 31 registered archaeological sites. The Stage 1 assessment visually determined that while sections of the subject corridor exhibit disturbances primarily associated with commercial development, road construction and driveways, undisturbed portions of the subject corridor have been identified beyond the ROW limits. The existing ROW is disturbed from previous road construction activities. Given the high probability of finding archaeological materials within the identified undisturbed portions of the subject corridor, it is recommended to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport that a Stage 2 assessment consisting of either a test-pit survey at a 5 m interval of fallow areas, woodlots, and lawns or the pedestrian survey of cultivated fields (dependent on field conditions) is required for all undisturbed portions of the subject corridor. i

Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment of Wonderland Road, London 1 PROJECT CONTEXT: DEVELOPMENT This report discusses the rationale, methods and results of the Stage 1 archaeological assessment of the proposed future widening of Wonderland Road South, Part of Lots 35 and 36, Concession 2; Part of Lot 24, Concession 3, 4 and 5; Part of Lot 23, Concession 6; and Lots 59 to 70 East of Talbot Rd, City of London, Former Geographic Township of Westminster, Middlesex County. The Wonderland Road subject corridor project limits are from Southdale Road West to Highway 401 (approximately 7.4 km), and 40 m each side of the existing Wonderland Road Right of Way (Figure 1). The assessment was undertaken on behalf of MMM Group Limited for the City of London as part of the Class Environmental Assessment for the future development of Wonderland Road. Stage 1 is the background study of archaeological sites located within or near the subject corridor and visual assessment of the subject corridor to assess archaeological potential. For this aspect of the project, the archaeological site registry database files at the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, in Toronto will be examined to determine if there are any registered archaeological sites located within or near the subject corridor. Historic documents will also be examined to determine if any possible historic sites are located within the project limits, as well as to determine the proximity of historic transportation routes. Assessment activities were conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act (R.S.O. 1990, c.o. 18) in compliance with the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (2011) under an archaeological consulting license (#P018) issued to Philip Woodley of New Directions Archaeology Ltd. Permission to access for the visual assessment was granted by the City of London. The field notes, photos and related documents will be curated at the office of New Directions Archaeology Ltd. PROJECT CONTEXT: HISTORICAL The subject corridor is located in the Township of Westminster in what was originally Middlesex County, but is now part of the City of London. The first permanent settlement in Middlesex County was at Delaware Village near the Thames River, and began in 1793 (H. R. Page & Co. 1878: 5). From there, the first road was constructed and opened and extended to Chatham, and in 1812 was used for the passage of artillery and baggage (H. R. Page & Co. 1878: 5-6). Steady settlement in the County did not increase until after the War of 1812.

New Directions Archaeology Ltd 2 Westminster Township, south-central Middlesex County, is the second oldest settled township in Middlesex. Most of the earlier settlers were farmers and patents were issued in Westminster as early as 1812 (H. R. Page & Co. 1878). Westminster historically encompassed several small villages: Lambeth, Glanworth, Belmont, Nilestown, Byron, and New Brighton (H. R. Page & Co. 1878). An examination or the 1878 map of the Township of Westminster (Page and Co.1878: 16-17) reveals that the subject corridor, at this time, runs through Part of Lots 35 and 36, Concession 2; Part of Lot 24, Concession 3, 4 and 5; Part of Lot 23, Concession 6; and Part of Lots 59 to 70 East of Talbot Road. Table 1 lists the property owners by lot and concession, as well as any houses, orchards, or other points of interest indicated on the 1878 map of the Township of Westminster. Due to the narrow nature of the subject corridor, many of the structures on the properties fall far outside the project limits and as such were not included in Table 1. Even so, multiple farmhouses and orchards fall within or immediately adjacent to the subject corridor. Considering the close proximity of historic structures, presence of major historical roadways, and waterways, there is a high probability of locating historic artifacts in the subject corridor.

Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment of Wonderland Road, London 3 PROJECT CONTEXT: ARCHAEOLOGICAL The subject corridor is located along Wonderland Road South, Part of Lots 35 and 36, Concession 2; Part of Lot 24, Concession 3, 4 and 5; Part of Lot 23, Concession 6; and Lots 59 to 70 East of Talbot Rd, City of London, Former Geographic Township of Westminster, Middlesex County. The subject corridor is dominated by commercial land use in the north, and agricultural land in the south. The Stage 1 visual assessment was conducted on November 20th, 2013 under cool and sunny conditions. The subject corridor is located on the Mount Elgin Ridges physiographic region (Chapman and Putnam 1984: 144). The topography of the Mount Elgin Ridges consists of successions of ridges (950 to 1,000 feet a.s.l) and vales (800-900 feet a.s.l.) (Chapman and Putnam 1984). The vales are alluvium of gravel, sand or silt while the ridges are comprised of pale brown calcareous clay or silty clay (Chapman and Putnam 1984). The topography of the subject corridor is fairly flat to gently undulating and is mostly farmland in the south with some commercial development in the north. A survey of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport archaeological site registry database files in Toronto revealed that there are 31 registered sites within 1 km of the subject corridor. In addition, an examination of the subject corridor using Ontario Base Mapping (OBM) 1:10 000 was performed to identify potential. In summary, only three of the sites have an undetermined temporal or cultural affiliation, and four an undetermined site type. Of the sites with a determined temporal or cultural affiliation, 25 can be classified under Pre-Contact (with further divisions within this category; Late Archaic, Woodland, Late Woodland, etc.), two as strictly Euro Canadian, and one site that had both Pre-Contact and Euro Canadian components. Ten of the 27 with site type listed are identified as campsites, six as hamlets, five as findspots, three as lithic scatters, one as a longhouse, one as a homestead and one as a village. Given the amount of sites within the vicinity, as well as the abundant waterways (both for potable water and transportation), there is a high potential for locating archaeological material within the subject corridor.

FIELD METHODOLOGY The Stage 1 visual assessment was conducted on November 20th, 2013 under cool and sunny conditions resulting in excellent visibility. The entire subject corridor was visually assessed and photo documented, and the details of the field survey are presented in Figures 3 to 12. The digital copy of the aerial mapping is the most accurate digital mapping available and has been provided to indicate field methodology. The Stage 1 assessment determined that much of the northern portion of the subject corridor has been disturbed by commercial development and construction activities (Figures 10-12, Plates 22-23, Plates 25-27), with additional disturbance where Highway 402 transects Wonderland Road (Figures 6 and 7). The remainder of the subject corridor is vacant lots or agricultural land and appears to be undisturbed (Figures 3 to 11, Plates

Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment of Wonderland Road, London 5 1-21, Plate 24). A stage 2 assessment will be required for these identified undisturbed areas within the subject corridor. A pedestrian survey may be feasible for agricultural fields, depending on field conditions. Test pit survey would be required for the woodlots, residential properties, and fallow or agricultural fields that are unable to be ploughed. The test pit survey would be conducted at a 5 m interval with all soil shoveled into a 6 mm mesh and screened for artifacts, with all the test pits backfilled. Each test pit will need to be approximately 30 cm in diameter and hand excavated 5 cm into potential subsoil with the profiles of each test pit examined for stratified layers and/or disturbance. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport has provided a 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists to assist in identifying archaeological potential. Under these guidelines all property is identified as having archaeological potential that is within: 300 m of registered archaeological sites; 300 m of water sources (primary, secondary, historic and glacial); elevated topography; well drained soils; distinctive land formations; resource areas (food, medicinal plants, source raw materials and early Euro-Canadian industry); 100 m of early Euro-Canadian settlement; 100 m of historic transportation routes; areas containing Ontario Heritage designated properties; and properties identified by local informants as having potential (MTCS 2011: 17-18). The subject corridor meets several of these criteria. The subject corridor is located along Wonderland Road, bounded by Southdale Road West and Highway 401, in an area of early Euro-Canadian settlement. It appears to be in close proximity to water sources and historic transportation routes (roads, tributaries) (Figure 2). As previously discussed, 31 registered archaeological sites are located near the study corridor. While portions of the subject corridor in the north have been disturbed by commercial development and a section has been disturbed by Highway 402 transecting Wonderland Road, much of the rest of the subject corridor appears undisturbed. Given the high probability of finding archaeological materials within undisturbed portions of the subject corridor it is recommended to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport that a Stage 2 assessment will be required for identified undisturbed areas (Figures 3-11). The Stage 2 assessment would consist of either a test-pit survey of fallow areas, woodlots and lawns, for the pedestrian survey of cultivated fields (dependent on field conditions) for all undisturbed portions of the subject corridor.

New Directions Archaeology Ltd 6 RECOMMENDATIONS On the basis of the above information, the following recommendations can be made: 1. Stage 1 archaeological assessment of the proposed future widening of Wonderland Road South, Part of Lots 35 and 36, Concession 2; Part of Lot 24, Concession 3, 4 and 5; Part of Lot 23, Concession 6; and Lots 59 to 70 East of Talbot Rd, City of London, Former Geographic Township of Westminster, Middlesex County determined that the study area is in close proximity to areas of archaeological potential and therefore the potential for recovering archaeological materials is high. Given this, it is recommended to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport that a Stage 2 archaeological assessment be required for all undisturbed areas within the subject corridor. This would involve either a test-pit survey of fallow areas, woodlots, and lawns or a pedestrian survey of cultivated fields, dependent on field conditions, in order to identify all archaeological resources or materials that may be present. Both the test-pit survey and pedestrian survey would be conducted at a 5 m interval and for the test-pit survey all soil would be shoveled into 6 mm mesh and screened for artifacts and the test-pits backfilled. 2. The remainder of the subject corridor has been identified as disturbed due to commercial development and road construction. Given this, it is recommended to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport that the remainder of this subject corridor is disturbed and that no further archaeological assessment is required. 3. Construction should not proceed before receiving confirmation that the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport has entered the report into the provincial register of reports. This report is filed with the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport in compliance with sec. 65 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act. The ministry reviews reports to ensure that the licensee has met the terms and conditions of the license and archaeological resources have been identified and documented according to the standards and guidelines set by the ministry, ensuring the conservation, protection and preservation of the heritage of Ontario. 4. Should previously unknown or unassessed deeply buried archaeological resources be uncovered during development, they may be a new archaeological site and therefore subject to Section 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act. The proponent or person discovering the archaeological resources must cease alteration of the site immediately and engage a licensed archaeologist to carry out archaeological fieldwork, in compliance with sec. 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act. 5. Any person discovering human remains must immediately notify the police or coroner and the Registrar of Cemeteries, Ministry of Government Services.

The report is reviewed to ensure that it complies with the standards and guidelines that are issued by the Minister, and that the archaeological fieldwork and report recommendations ensure the conservation, protection and preservation of the cultural heritage of Ontario. When all matters relating to archaeological sites within the project area of a development proposal have been addressed to the satisfaction of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, a letter will be issued by the ministry stating that there are no further concerns with regard to alteration to archaeological sites by the proposed development. 2. It is an offence under Sections 48 and 69 of the Ontario Heritage Act for any party other than a licensed archaeologist to make any alteration to a known archaeological site or to remove any artifact or other physical evidence of past human use or activity from the site, until such times as a licensed archaeologist has completed archaeological fieldwork on the site, submitted a report to the Minister stating that the site has no further cultural heritage value or interest, and the report has been filed in the Ontario Public Register of Archaeology Reports referred to in Section 65.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act. 3. Should previously undocumented archaeological resources be discovered, they may be a new archaeological site and therefore subject to Section 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act. The proponent or person discovering the archaeological resources must cease alteration of the site immediately and engage a licensed consultant archaeologist to carry out archaeological fieldwork, in compliance with Section 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act. 4. The Cemeteries Act, R.S.O. 1990 c. C.4 and the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002, S.O. 2002, c.33 (when proclaimed in force) require that any person discovering human remains must notify the police or coroner and the Registrar of Cemeteries at the Ministry of Consumer Services.
