Composition and tomography of European produced heterogenous glass trade beads from eastern Canada
Beads Connect People
Across many global contexts of colonial interaction, glass trade beads serve a cultural role as social signifiers and gifts that solidify relationships among people and communities. Through frameworks of technology studies and communities of practice, this study examines how glass bead manufacturing processes in historical European production centers left identifiable markers of access to exchange networks across eastern North America. The case s…
Tracking glass beads
Minimally invasive compositional analyses of glass trade beads have revolutionised the study of these highly portable and socially significant items. Here, the authors interrogate new and legacy compositional data to investigate how Indigenous communities in eastern North America, particularly Wendat confederacy members, obtained beads from European traders and connected to broader interregional exchange systems c. AD 1600-1670. Diagnostic chemic…
Seeking Indigenous Trade Networks of the Midcontinent through Glass Beads from La Belle (41MG86)
From 1679 to 1683, Indigenous communities of midwestern North America encountered the expeditions of Robert La Salle, a French explorer and colonizer who documented traveling the Great Lakes and Mississippi River. This chapter explores evidence for Indigenous peoples’ interactions with La Salle, and their existing internal trade networks, by identifying the chemical composition of glass trade beads (n=83) associated with La Salle’s ill-fated ship…
The Elemental Analysis of Glass Beads
Glass beads, both beautiful and portable, have been produced and traded globally for thousands of years. Modern archaeologists study these artifacts through sophisticated methods that analyze the glass composition, a process which can be utilized to trace bead usage through time and across regions. This book publishes open-access compositional data obtained from laser ablation - inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry, from a single analyt…
Compositional Analysis of Glass Beads from Huron-Wendat Contexts at the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette Mission Site, Quebec
Glass trade beads recovered during the 2018 excavations of the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette Mission Site (CeEu-11), the site of a c. 1673–1697 Huron-Wendat village at L’Ancienne-Lorette (Quebec), were analyzed using Laser Ablation - Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). This minimally invasive analysis, conducted with permission from the Huron-Wendat Nation of Quebec, provides information about glass bead recipes that can be compar…
Nueva Cadiz Beads in the Americas
Nueva Cadiz and associated beads are among the earliest categories of European glass beads found in the Americas. Named after the site in Venezuela where they were first identified, these tubular, square-sectioned beads occur in regions of 16th-century Spanish colonial trade. A similar style occurs around Lake Ontario in northeastern North America in areas of 17th-century Dutch and French colonial trade. We compare the chemical composition of bea…
Comparing Chemistries
Glass beads from archaeological sites in the North American Great Lakes region have been subject to chemical analysis for several decades. Early work identified key elements in glass beads using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA), a bulk sample analysis method. Laser Ablation‐Inductively Coupled Plasma‐Mass Spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) now offers an alternative, point‐based analytical method. We compare results of analyzing the same arti…
Reconsidering the Chronology
Recent reexamination of pottery, copper objects, and glass trade beads using modern analytic methods has amended the occupational history of the Cloudman site (20CH6), once interpreted as an early 'Contact' period site in Michigan. The original chronology of the site, located on northern Michigan's Drummond Island in Lake Huron, was based on an apparent association of Iroquoian pottery with European-made trade goods relatively dated to circa AD 1…
Florida Cut-Crystal Beads in Ontario
Faceted rock-crystal beads attributed to ca. 1550-1630 have been found at a number of North American archaeological sites, principally in the southeastern United Sates where they are generally termed Florida Cut-Crystal. Finds further to the north are rare. It was, therefore, of great interest to discover three different examples in the bead collections of two 17th-century Huron-Wendat sites in southern Ontario: Le Caron (BeGx-15) and Warminster …

Glass Trade Beads from the Goose Lake Outlet #3 Site (20MQ140), Marquette County, Michigan
This article describes analyses of the glass trade-bead assemblage of the Goose Lake Outlet #3 (GLO#3) site (20MQ140), a probable short-term winter campsite located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Based on typological and attribute analysis of the beads, which employed the Kidd and Kidd classification system and comparison with published “glass bead periods” or GBPs developed for assemblages in Ontario, the GLO#3 bead assemblage is assigned a…

Stylistic and Chemical Investigation of Turquoise-Blue Glass Artifacts from the Contact Era of Wisconsin
Typologically and visually similar glass trade beads, found on many archaeological sites of Native and French interaction in Wisconsin dating to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, often vary in chemical composition. These chemical differences likely indicate both fluctuating technological processes in European glass "recipes" and changes related to suppliers of trade goods to North America. To investigate regional differences among bead co…
