Mary:
There are several foundations that have provided grants to archaeology
that I am aware of. You should check and see if you can track down
info on them (I'm sorry but I can't think of any of their names right
off hand and my files have been packed away). You chould check with
Shell Canada, Pepsi Co. etc. and see if any of them are interested in
sponsoring the Ferryland project?
Have you tried to tie in the work in Maryland on Lord Balitmore's site
there? I think that the two projects (yours and the the US one)
should be able to come up with some kind of strategy for mutual
support and dual fundraising.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe the Ford Foundation has sponsored some
archaeology projects in the states but I don't know about Canada.
If I come up with any other ideas I will pass them along.
