Evidence of early tobacco in Northeastern North America? (2006)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sean M. Rafferty.

While tobacco use was a widespread and important social practice among Native Americans during the Historic Period, the prehistoric origins of the practice are poorly understood. Smoking pipes significantly predate botanical evidence of tobacco in Eastern North America. A promising technique for addressing this problem is gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) analysis to identify nicotine or related compounds in smoking pipe residues. GC/MS analysis of a smoking pipe dating to...

An Examination of Gunflints From the Fort St. Joseph Site (20BE23) in Niles, Michigan (2011)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Cezar Carvalhaes.

French colonial North America was settled in order to expand the fur trade and also secure the North American interior from British incursions. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, France had come to occupy huge swathes of land in North America, establishing a trading empire from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains, and from Hudson Bay southward along the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. As the fur trade expanded, the Great Lakes region proved vital to France’s interests, and near...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Nicole van Zyl.
