DOCUMENT Full-Text Steven De Vore. William J. Hunt, Jr..

From Beaver Pelt to Hatters' Felt: The Use and Impact of Canadian Beaver on Britain (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael C Bumsted.

Historians and archaeologists in North America have expended much energy studying the fur trade. The role which beaver played in this is especially well discussed, and the importance that it had to European expansion into the North American interior has been thoroughly examined. The same cannot be said for what happened to the goods Europeans acquired once they took them back to Europe. Beaver, and the other Hudson’s Bay Company imports, had social and economic impacts on the British end of...

Growing up on the move: childhood experience in the Viking Age (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dawn Hadley.

The involvement of children in the Viking Age migrations, and their experiences upon settlement in new regions, has been afforded little attention by archaeologists. In part this derives from the perceived paucity of evidence for children and their lives. It is also arguably because migration is generally overlooked as a facet of childhood because of an assumption that ‘the home’ is the environment in which childhood is experienced and thus this is where analytical attention is often focused....

Hidden Meaning: A Catholic Reliquary in an Anglican World (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Merry Outlaw.

More than one hundred human burials have been excavated at Jamestown over the past 20 years, and thus far, few have contained grave goods. The discovery of a small box on top of Captain Gabriel Archer’s coffin was, therefore, surprising to archaeologists. Extensive scientific testing determined the box is silver and contains human bone and a lead ampulla. It is a Catholic reliquary, a container to store holy relics—the bones of a saint, and a vial of holy water or blood of a saint. This...
