It is with great sadness that the Faculty of Arts marks the passing of one of our finest teachers and researchers. Archaeology Dr. Priscilla Renouf passed away Friday April 4 after a long battle with cancer.

A Tier I Canada Research Chair in North Atlantic Archaeology, the majority of Dr. Renouf's work was done on the Northern Peninsula, where she uncovered and reconstructed the 6,000-year-old human presence at Port au Choix. 

Dr. Renouf was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a recipient of the President's Award for Outstanding Research 1992-1993.
