In 1995, when he was still in high school and hanging around the family cottage in Charlotte County’s Lake Utopia, he ventured out on a hike that eventually propelled him on his career path. Mr. Suttie stumbled across some stone tools. His discovery led to the oldest radiocarbon-dated archaeological site in New Brunswick. “I have always been interested in archaeology and the stone tools only heightened my interest,” said Mr. Suttie, a native of Black’s Harbour.”When I found them, I had no idea how old any of them were. Since coming to UNB, I’ve been able to find out so much more about them.” Brent was trained at the University of New Brunswick, receiving his undergraduate diplomas there and then his Masters.
