Using regional chemical comparisons of European copper to examine its trade to and among Indigenous groups in late 16th and early 17th century Canada
Analysis of Copper-Based Metals from three Mi'kmaq Sites in Nova Scotia
Instrumental neutron activation of sixty-one copper-based metal samples from Mi'kmaq First Nations archaeological sites at Northport, Pictou, and Avonport in Nova Scotia shows that all samples are of European origin. There are two brass and one gun metal samples; all are of different trace element chemistries. The remaining fifty-eight pieces of European copper displayed from six to thirteen different trace element chemistries, implying that a mi…

Prehistoric Shellfish Preservation and Storage on the Northeast Coast
Recently, there has been an exchange in the archaeological literature of the Northeast coast regarding the interpretation of some Northeastern coastal shell middens as resulting from the intensive exploitation and preservation of shellfish resources. This article examines both sides of this exchange critically. It is concluded that, while the ethnohistoric evidence supports interpretations of prehistoric preservation and storage, archaeological e…

Discussion de l'origine des objets de provenance europeenne que les premiers explorateurs du Golfe du Maine (Etats-Unis), au debut du 17 siecle, trouverent en possession des Indiens : ornements de cuivre, bouilloires, haches de fer et chaloupes. L'A. emet l'hypothese qu'ils furent introduits dans la region par des intermediaires Etchemin ou Souriquois, et non par des voyageurs europeens restes anonymes
