Nice flower :) - it's a native too.

Sorry to be pedantic, but isn't Star of Bethlehem Ornithogalum umbellatum ssp. campestre? Nutans is the drooping species I think which is a garden escape.

In western Canada, there are many abandoned winter village sites used by First Nations for long times
Wanuskewin was occupied for more than 6,000 years.
The kitchen gardens still exist! Alliums are distinctly present in every one of them.
Slightly OT: Has anyone researched what else can still be found at old sites?

Tubers or possibly corms in the root system. Any written references to paleo values?
It is possible to lift microscopic plant fragments, "phytoliths," from some grind stones.
Enough for a species ID. Proteins and fats, even from potsherds.
The first clear clue here is to find otherwise wild native species growing in straight rows.
