Composition and tomography of European produced heterogenous glass trade beads from eastern Canada
Stratified Pit Features at the Presbytère de l'Ancienne‐Lorette (CeEu‐11) and the Fort Odanak (CaFe‐7) Sites in Québec, Canada
A geoarcheological study of two large, stratified Indigenous pit features discovered at two Jesuit mission sites in Québec (Canada) was carried out to offer a detailed documentation of their contents and better understand their use over time. One of the pits is a 17th c. Wendat (Huron‐Wendat) feature discovered at the Presbytère‐de‐L'Ancienne‐Lorette (CeEu‐11) site in L'Ancienne‐Lorette, which was occupied by the Notre‐Dame‐de‐Lorette mission bet…
W8banaki Subsistence Patterns During the 18th and 19th Centuries at the Fort Odanak Site, Québec, Canada
Built in the early eighteenth century on the banks of the Saint-François River (Québec, QC, Canada), the fortified Jesuit mission of Saint-François-de-Sales was an important W8banaki centre during the colonial period. Between 2010 and 2021, archaeological excavations conducted by the W8banaki Nation led to the discovery of the mission's remains at the Fort Odanak site (CaFe-7) in the historical centre of the village of Odanak. They revealed numer…
Humains et animaux aux marges de la ville de Québec historique
Le site de la ferme Cadet (CeEt-960) a révélé une importante collection faunique datée principalement des xviii e et xix e siècles. L’analyse zooarchéologique a mis en évidence la prédominance des animaux domestiques, notamment le boeuf, le porc et les caprinés, indiquant une forte dépendance à l’élevage pour l’alimentation. L’étude des os a révélé des pratiques de sélection de pièces de viande, tandis que la présence d’animaux jeunes suggère des…
From privies to disease
OBJECTIVE: This project combines the analysis of parasites and pollen remains from a wealthy 19th century household in Québec City, Canada to examine health as it intersects with ecological and cultural factors of disease transmission in changing urban environments. MATERIALS: Nineteen sediment samples from two privy structures from a 19th century wealthy household in Québec City, Canada. METHODS: The parasite analysis was conducted by examining …

Human-driven fire and vegetation dynamics on the Caribbean island of Barbuda from early indigenous to modern times
We present a multiproxy analysis of a sediment core from Freshwater Pond, Barbuda, one of just a few inland paleoenvironmental records from the Lesser Antilles. Our results shed light on the relative contributions of climate variability and Pre- and Post-Columbian human activities to vegetation and fire dynamics on Barbuda. The presence of macroscopic charcoal and pollen of ethnobotanically-useful and disturbance-indicator plant taxa in the sedim…

Coléoptères, poux et puces subfossiles provenant d’habitats de chasseurs-cueilleurs
L’archéoentomologie, l’analyse des restes d’insectes préservés en contexte archéologique, est une approche relativement méconnue en Amérique du Nord. Bien qu’une première étude d’insectes subfossiles provenant d’un site paléoesquimau ait été conduite à la fin des années 1960 au Groenland, il s’est écoulé près de trois décennies avant que de telles études se réalisent dans l’Arctique nord-américain. Depuis, une vingtaine de sites de cultures paléo…
Landscape Transformation During Ceramic Age and Colonial Occupations of Barbuda, West Indies
This research documented the history of landscape transformation on the island of Barbuda in the Lesser Antilles, Caribbean through cross-disciplinary research approaches. Excavations confirmed a human presence for the seasonal exploitation of conch meat and other molluscs during the Archaic Age (c.3000–500 BC), but more substantial impacts to terrestrial ecosystems likely began during the Ceramic Age (c.500 BC–AD 1500). Our combined sedimentary …
First Archaeological Evidence for Old World Crops in the Caribbean
From Icon of Empire to National Emblem
Barbuda and Antigua’s national animal is the fallow deer, Dama dama dama, a species native to the eastern Mediterranean that has been transported around the world by people during the last 8000 years. The timing and circumstances by which fallow deer came to be established on Barbuda are currently uncertain but, by examining documentary, osteological and genetic evidence, this paper will consider the validity of existing theories. It will review …
A sediment-based reconstruction of Caribbean effective precipitation during the ‘Little Ice Age’ from Freshwater Pond, Barbuda
Contemporary climate dynamics of the circum-Caribbean region are characterised by significant precipitation variability on interannual and interdecadal timescales controlled primarily by El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). However, our understanding of pre-industrial climate variability in the region is hampered by the sparse geographic distribution of palaeoclimate archives. Here, we present a hig…
Urbanization and Landscape Change in Early-Eighteenth-Century Boston
Archaeoentomology at Tatsip Ataa
Thirty-one sediment samples collected from midden layers at the Tatsip Ataa (E172) site located in the former Norse Eastern Settlement in Greenland were analyzed for insect remains. These efforts allowed for the identification of species believed to have been introduced involuntarily with Norse settlers upon colonization, while suggesting the origin of materials disposed of in the midden. Our analysis of outdoor insects and synanthropes also iden…
Early Thule Winter Houses
This paper presents the results of archaeoentomological analyses of soil samples from early Thule (ca. AD 1200–1400) winter-house remains at Cape Grinnell and Qaqaitsut, Northwest Greenland. Excavated over the summers of 2008 and 2009 by the Inglefield Land Archaeological Project (ILAP), four houses yielded 467 ectoparasites, mostly human lice, unevenly distributed across the identified areas of the structures. A recurring pattern of distribution…
Contributions of ectoparasite studies in archaeology with two examples from the North Atlantic region
Asylum for Wayward Immigrants
The arrival of Europeans along the northeastern seaboard of North America heralded the introduction of Old World flora and fauna to the region. The analysis of archaeologically recovered beetle remains suggests that many species may have journeyed across the Atlantic in ships' ballast, food stores, and other provisions. The creation of artificial habitats which occurred as a result of the fisheries and the construction of settlements provided an …

Bugs, seeds and weeds at the Intendant's Palace
Used intensively from the second half of the 17th century to the British conquest in 1759, the Intendant's Palace compound accommodated the King's Stores, a brewery, a shipyard, a bakery and other facilities. The site was transformed from a natural marshy riverside to an impressive complex of buildings representing the power of the king in New France and the prestigious role of the intendant. This study in landscape change and environmental archa…
From myth to reality
The first official attempt at settlement in the St Lawrence Valley is recounted in a number of historical documents. These accounts were aimed at justifying the colonization project of Jacques Cartier and Sieur de Roberval in Canada; they provide little information on many aspects of the colonists' daily life. The recent discovery of the site where these two explorers settled in 1541–43 and the archaeological excavations carried out there provide…
The Intendant's Palace site
Several archaeological field studies have been carried out on the Intendant's Palace site since 1982. In the first ten years, research concentrated on the 17th-century brewery, the Intendant's Palace and the King's Stores. When Université Laval's field school returned to the site in 2000, it took a holistic approach rather than focusing on specific buildings. In so doing, it documented the urban evolution of this part of Québec City, which has yi…
