The incursion of colonial Russian fur hunters into the Pacific spanned more than a century, resulting in 20 principal Alaskan settlements.

Sacred or Secular: Religious Materiality on the French Colonial Frontier (2011)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Andrew Beaupré.

My research examines archaeologically recovered artifacts and documentary sources to gain an understanding of the role that religious material culture played on the French colonial frontier, ca. 1608-1763. This study revisits the claims made by Rinehart (1990), stating that religious items are more likely to be recovered from the archaeological record at sites near Jesuit missions. I examined a large portion of the French colonial archaeological literature and located 30 sites that have yielded...

This study examines the history and artifact assemblages of the fur trade post sites of Rix Robinson (1789-1875) and Daniel DeMarsac (1812-1880). Operating in the Grand River Basin of the present-day state of Michigan between 1821-1857, these two traders are historical examples of independent enterprises competing with the incursion of the American Fur Company during the later period of...

Trade and Mobility in the Late Eighteenth-Century River World of the Western Great Lakes: the Case of Réaume’s Leaf River Post (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amelie Allard.

This paper examines the lived experiences of French Canadian fur traders in the late eighteenth-century western Great Lakes region. Even as they labored under – sometimes actively resisted - the Anglo-Scot masters of the trade, a life of travel away from colonial centers provided an arena for voyageurs to enact and reproduce distinct sets of fur trade practices through the transmission of knowledge on the spot, as well as create a place for themselves at the intersection of British colonial...

"Where Ornament and Function are so Agreeably Combined" Redux: A New Look at Consumer Choice Studies Using English Ceramic Wares at Several 19th Century Fur Trade Sites Along the Columbia River (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert J Cromwell.

This paper takes a new look at my 2006 doctoral dissertation, where I analyzed over 20,000 British-manufactured ceramic ware sherds excavated from archaeological households at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, Vancouver, Washington. These archaeological households are located both within the ca. 1829-1860Hudson’s Bay Company Fort Vancouver palisade site, as well as in the associated employee (Kanaka) Village site. This allows for synthesis of the data and to compare household dynamics from...

"Women Smoking Leather": Identifying Women and Their Ethnicity at Fort Selkirk. (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Victoria Castillo.

Fort Selkirk served as a small subarctic fur trade post for the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) in central Yukon from 1848-1852. The company’s priority was the trade of European goods in exchange for furs trapped and hunted by Northern Tutchone and other Indigenous groups in the region. A review of Fort Selkirk journal records indicates the fort employed and housed a pluralistic population which included British, Indigenous and Metis men who worked as clerks, labourers and meat hunters. Mostly...
