Contact in the 16th Century
From Labrador to Lake Ontario, the Gulf of Saint Lawrence to French Acadia, and Huronia-Wendaki to Tadoussac, and from one chapter to the next, this scholarly collection of archaeological findings focuses on 16th century European goods found in Native contexts and within greater networks, forming a conceptual interplay of place and mobility. Contact networks radiated northward into Inuit settings where European iron nails, roofing tile fragments and ceramics are found. The four initial chapters are set around the Gulf of Saint Lawrence where Euro-Native contact was direct and the historical record is strongest.
Ceramics on northern Basque sites are mostly from Spain. Glass beads are scarce on Inuit sites as well as on Basque sites on the Gulf's north shore, but they are numerous in French Acadia. An historical review discusses the partnership between Spanish Basques and Saint Lawrence
