Killarney Bay
The archaeological site at Killarney Bay, on the northeast side of Georgian Bay in Ontario, Canada, has attracted and mystified archaeologists for decades. The quantities of copper artifacts, exotic cherts, and long-distance trade goods all highlight the importance of the site during its time of occupation. Yet researchers have struggled to date the site or assign it to a particular cultural tradition, since the artifacts and mortuary components do not precisely match those of other sites and assemblages in the Upper Great Lakes. The history of archaeological investigation at Killarney Bay stretches across parts of three centuries and involves field schools from universities in two countries (Laurentian University in Canada and the University of Michigan in the United States). This volume pulls together the results from all prior research at the site and represents the first comprehensive report ever published on the excavations and finds at Killarney Bay. Heavily illustrated.
Sheguiandah Site
First excavated in the early 1950s, the Sheguiandah site had remained enigmatic for half a century. This volume details controversial early claims that the site had been occupied before the last Ice Age, then covers more recent studies of the geological and botanical history of the area – including new evidence that the site was uninhabited until after the retreat of the glaciers.
Caribou Hunting in the Upper Great Lakes
Bringing together American and Canadian scholars of Great Lakes prehistory to provide a holistic picture of caribou hunters, this volume covers such diverse topics as paleoenvironmental reconstruction, ethnographic surveys of hunting features with Native informants in Canada, and underwater archaeological research, and presents a synthetic model of ancient caribou hunters in the Great Lakes region.
The History of Fort St. Joseph
In 1812, Fort St. Josephs garrison captured American Fort Mackinac, ensuring British control of the Upper Great Lakes for the duration of the War of 1812.
From Canoe to Computer
The life ways of Native and other northern Canadian inhabitants and the animals they live with, respect, and use are featured in this book. The author describes the aboriginals (First Nations people) and other northern peoples historical and current involvement in the use, studies, and management of wildlife. Recommendations for the accelerated involvement of Native peoples in wildlife management are presented. In addition, interesting observations of the ways of life of northern animals and their populations are described. Details of long-term studies and management of problems with bears, wolves, beaver, elk, and other species, and their diseases and parasites, are highlighted as well as the resulting human politics. The continuation of recreational, subsistence, and commercial hunting are recommended and the need for development of complex management techniques are presented. Changes to wildlife management education are suggested.
The Cummins Site Complex and Paleoindian Occupations in the Northwestern Lake Superior Region
"This book provides a detailed technological and typological discussion and interpretation of the Late Paleoindian lithic technology of the Cummins Site Complex of Lake Minong, Thunder Bay, Ontario. The author presents regional comparisons of the Cummins assemblages with other pertinent Late Paleoindian lithic assemblages to evaluate the utility of the "Lakehead Paleoindian Complex" as a useful analytical and interpretive construct. Significant data on Paleoindian and early Archaic quarrying activity and reduction strategies form a key part of the interpretations of the Cummins site. The presence and documentation of these activities in a Late Paleoindian context represents a significant contribution to a little known aspect of behaviors associated with lithic technology of this time period."--Abstract of review by John E.
