Our cheerful and hardworking local archaeology crew in 1997 included Terri-Lynn Alyward, Jimmy Dempsey, Pam Lewis, Gary Lewis, Vernon Lewis, Sandy Lewis and Jennifer Tobin. Volunteer fieldworkers and lab assistants for 1997 also included Elaine Anton, Amy Dempsey, Neil Lewis, Colleen O’Keefe, Gerry Osmond and Kim Rideout. Conservation services for the quarry excavations were capably provided by Elaine Anton (1997-1998), Paula French (1998) and Cliff Cook (1998-1999).

In 1998, Kevin Skinner of the University of Calgary helped us complete the quarry excavation along with our local crew, Terri-Lynn Alyward (returning from 1997), Mandy Lewis, Christie Walsh and Carrie Lewis. Thank you to Neil Lewis and Peggy Hedderson for their logistical support and much needed use of their shower during an unusually warm and drought-filled 1998 Newfoundland summer. Thanks to Terrance Shelley of Fleur de Lys for telling us about Plat Bay Cove, for permitting us access to his collections, and for finding the Maritime Archaic soapstone plummet! Additional local support in 1998 was provided by Pad Barker and Larry Hedderson (carpentry services), and to Andy Stuckless, Ron Barrett, Sherry Walsh, Nicole Noftall and Chris Traverse for moving a mountain of stone that was the 1997 rock pile. Botany students Stephanie Martin and Shirley Alyward are also thanked for their identification of plant species on the site.

In 1999 Stephen Hull of Memorial University joined the project and assisted in the regional survey work and the excavation of Plat Bay Cove. Thanks Steve for all the good cooking while we were camped out on Partridge Point and for carrying the propane tanks up that mountain. We were assisted by Mandy Lewis (returning from 1998) and Shamus Walsh of Fleur de Lys. Special thanks to 1999 volunteers Corinna Hull of St. John’s for her excellent cataloguing work and culinary skills; Eleanor Stoddart of Memorial University for assisting us in our survey and test pit work in Fleur de Lys and Coachman’s Cove; and, Elaine Anton, Acting Curator of Archaeology and Ethnology at the Newfoundland Museum, for the loan of Museum field equipment, and assistance in setting up camp at Plat Bay Cove.

Additional support in 1999 was provided by Neil Lewis and Shannon Lewis, of the Dorset Soapstone Quarry Interpretation Centre. Thanks to Mick John Lewis, Rod Downey, and Jason Downey for providing boat services, and to Terrance Shelley for generously lending his punt for the Fleur de Lys Harbour Island survey. Additional support was provided by Vera Downey, Peggy Hedderson, Larry Hedderson, Christy Walsh, Rhonda Barrett, Charlotte Philpot, Holly Dee Walsh, and Cathy Alyward of Fleur de Lys. Conservation services were provided by Wade Greeley in 1999 and again in 2000.

In 2000, thank you to Crystal Lewis and Nicole Brandon of Memorial University; Shannon Lewis of Coachman’s Cove; student assistants Holly-Dee Walsh and Patrick Barrett of Fleur de Lys; and Lee Skinner and Cindy Fitzgerald of Coachman’s Cove. Special thanks to volunteer Nadine Barker for her assistance in the Cow Cove excavation, and to Shannon Lewis and Jim Barker for tree removal. Field support and services in Fleur de Lys were provided by Neil Lewis of the Dorset Soapstone Quarry Interpretation Centre and Rod Downey of Dorset Tours. Special thanks to boatman turned archaeologist, Mick John Lewis for his enthusiasm and help, both in and out of the speedboat. Additional support in Fleur de Lys was provided by Vera and Rod Downey, Peggy Hedderson, Christy Walsh, Crystal Tobin, Rhonda Barrett, Belinda Downey, and Cathy Alyward.
To the residents of Towns of Fleur de Lys and Coachman's Cove, thank you for all your support and for making my time in Fleur de Lys and the Cove very enjoyable. Special thanks to Dorset Carving Committee members John Kelsey, Neil Lewis, George Walsh, Millie Walsh, Kay Lewis and Wayne Wiseman.

Finally, I would also like to express my gratitude to the government staff in the Provincial Archaeology Office, Department of Tourism, and the Newfoundland Museum in St. John's for their support, advice and assistance. Thank you to Frank Browne of the Department of Tourism who was instrumental in setting up and keeping the business end of the Fleur de Lys project running smoothly in 1997 and 1998. Thank you to Provincial Archaeologist Martha Drake, and her assistants Ken Reynolds and Delphina Mercer of the Provincial Archaeology Office for their assistance and support throughout the four years of the project.
