| Indigenous archeologist unearthing her ancestors’ legacy on the land | November 24, 2020 - 12:54pm |
As crews work, they call out Roberts any time they uncover anything that might be significant — especially if they spot signs of a shell midden. Shellfish remnants and other materials deposited in middens are valuable evidence of former Indigenous communities, and are archeological caches that can also include animal bones, artifacts or tools and even human remains. And so far, Roberts has struck gold. Read more in BC Local New, Nov. 2019 |

Ms. Good would eventually learn that she had unearthed a two-million-year-old skull that belonged to Paranthropus robustus, our large-toothed, small-brained ancient human cousin. It is the earliest and best-preserved specimen found so far of the species, which lived alongside and may have competed for resources with our direct ancestor Homo erectus. |

| Coming together, from afar | November 10, 2020 - 10:22am |
Hi! I’m new around here, but my MABRRI coworkers have made me feel so welcome. I’ve joined the team as a Research Assistant for the Canadian Mountain Network (CMN) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) project, which is analyzing current initiatives across Canada, and their alignment with the 17 SDGs. So far, I’ve been working with two project supervisors to interview stakeholders, collect and analyze data, and map our findings. |

| Searching for Forage Fish Eggs | October 13, 2020 - 3:32pm |
I’m a new employee on the MABRRI team, working on the fish forage project! Forage fish lay their nearly microscopic eggs in the sand. Therefore, being part of the project has diverted my thinking to focus on the small and important creatures in food chains that can pretty easily be overlooked. Now when I go to beaches, I think a lot about the sand under my feet. On October 1st, myself and another student were taught how to conduct sampling for forage fish eggs. Sampling has to be done at low tide so that the substrate we’re sampling is exposed and not underwater. |
