‘A Most Valuable Commerce’: Fur Trade and River Power Near the Mississippi Headwaters (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amelie Allard.

This is an abstract from the "From Iliniwek to Ste Genevieve: Early Commerce along the Mississippi" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. While the North American Fur Trade has been commonly examined through economic lenses, scholarship from the 1980s onward has strived to demonstrate that this phenomenon was more than mere trade and merchant capitalism: it also embodied a complex web of social relationships and practices that went beyond daily...

New Life for Old Fur Trade Data: Asking New Questions of the 1974 Atlas of Canada Posts of the Canadian Fur Trade Map. (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John J. Knoerl. T. Kurt Knoerl.

A detailed map entitled "Posts of the Canadian Fur Trade" was included in the fourth edition of the Atlas of Canada. Over 800 fur trade locations spanning the years 1600-1800 were noted on the map along with the company affiliation, and duration of operation. A quick glance at the map shows how this important aspect of the French and British colonial economies spanned the continent’s northern regions and consequently its aboriginal inhabitants. Forty-one years later little is known about the...

A New Transcription of Alexander Henry's Account of a Visit to the Mandan and Hidatsa Indians in 1806 (1980)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: system user

One of the most detailed and illuminating primary accounts of the fur trading operations of the North West Company is the daily journal kept by Alexander Henry, one of the company's employees and partner, from 1799 until his untimely death in 1814. Henry's original diary is now lost, but a copy of it survives in the Public Archives of Canada in the form of a handwritten copy purportedly made by one George Coventry in 1824. Elliott Coues edited and published the journal in 1897 under the title,...

The Northeast Woodlands Fur Trade and Indigenous ‘Economies of Affect’ (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John L. Creese.

This paper considers the sources of demand for European-manufactured goods among the Native American societies of the Northeast Woodlands in the early seventeenth century. I propose that among the Wendat-Tionnantate and Attiwandaron societies of southern Ontario, objects perceived to be potent – including many obtained from European sources – fed into local ‘economies of affect’. These systems involved characteristic cycles of ritual exchange focussed on the accumulation and enchainment of...

Collections associated with these archaeological investigations are stored in repositories across the country. New information can be extracted from these "old" collections...

Reconceptualizing the Wichita Middle Ground in the Southern Plains (1600-1840 CE) (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah Trabert. Brandi Bethke.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Southern Plains exchange system after 1600 CE was a complicated and fiercely competitive network of fluid alliances, rival interests, and conflict as Indigenous peoples were literally in the middle of overlapping cultural, economic, and physical power bases in the Southeast and Southwest. Although previous narratives surrounding these exchanges have focused on the trade in furs...

That drain would function to remove ground water from two replicated structures inside the Depot, namely, the Kitchen and the Great Hall. Prior to installation of the drain, seven test units...

DOCUMENT Citation Only David J. McMahan. H. Kory Cooper.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Colonial Forts in Comparative, Global, and Contemporary Perspective", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The incursion of colonial Russian fur hunters into the Pacific spanned more than a century, resulting in 20 principal Alaskan settlements.
