EC ROW was the first post war president of Chrysler Canada but the initials EC stand for "Edgar Charles" not "Emily Carr" as you have in the article. EC Row Expressway is named after him. My source is Walt McCall the former manager of public relations at Chrysler Canada in Windsor.

No Mention of the Archaeological Sites

"Fisher Archaeological Consulting, Historic Horizon Inc. & Dillon Consulting Limited Murphy & Ferris 1990:229). Two individuals from the bundle burials had modified skulls (post mortem); one had a cut that had penetrated the brain cavity; the other had been perforated through the sagittal suture (Lennox 1984:28). Other post mortem modifications were also noted on post-cranial material (Lennox 1984:33). The individuals were reportedly removed from the area around the Betts Avenue and Toronto Street intersection, however, a field archaeologist who had been working on the excavation with Wintemberg, indicated that some of the skeletons had come from a low mound west of the main investigated area, approximately 150 to 180 metres (500 to 600') away (Reid 1978). These skeletons probably came from what is now referred to as the E.C. Row site.

Three decades passed before more investigations were carried out on the site. In 1967, John Lee and Harry Bosveld conducted a ‘brief and small investigation ... for the Hiram Walker Historical Museum ...” (Reid 1978:25). In the intervening decades, the site had been largely disturbed or destroyed by the removal of soil, and the deposition of refuse and fill (Reid 1978:4). The investigations conducted by Lee and Bosveld just to the south of Toronto Street produced no significant results. A year later, Phil Wright investigated the site on behalf of the City of Windsor and the Ministry of Transportation and Communication in advance of proposed highway (EC Row Expressway) construction through the area (Reid 1978:7). Wright found no significant archaeological remains and concluded that due to extensive site disturbance, the site did not warrant further investigation or protection. However, concerns expressed by the Caldwell First Nation prompted the City of Windsor and the Ministry of Transportation and Communication to retain Professor Peter Reid of the University of Windsor to undertake further testing (Reid 1978). Despite Reid’s extensive coverage of the site area, no more burials were found and only a minor amount of cultural material was recovered. Construction of the expressway was allowed to proceed.

the site may have been occupied, possibly intermittently, over an extended period of time. The houses are similar in size and shape to contemporary Iroquoian examples, but they lack internal features such as bunk lines, end-house storage areas and pits, and hearths (Lennox 1984:35). These features may indicate a cabin site occupation, where the structures were occupied only during warm seasons as a shelter from inclement weather (Lennox 1984:35). A total of six burial features containing the remains of 23 individuals were found (Lennox 1984:18). Field recording was carried out on the skeletons, but since they were being re-buried at the end of the work day at the bequest of Walpole Island Bkejwanong First Nation, no detailed observations were undertaken. The burials consisted of bundle burials and infant cremations. The cremations had occurred elsewhere and were then deposited at the site. The E.C. Row burial styles were not as diverse as those found at the adjacent Lucier site (Lennox 1984:31 & 32). One parietal bone of an adult showed evidence of post mortem modification. This skull bone had been intentionally perforated, or drilled (Lennox 1984:33)." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anaccuratesource (talk • contribs) 20:04, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
