1-9 (9 Records)
This is a sortable version of Appendix B of the dissertation. Data recorded in this table include a description of all glass beads and pendants used in the project, detailed provenience information for each artifact, and an assignment to a Kidd and Kidd bead typology category.
Appendix C - Glass Bead Compositional Data (2015)
This is the complete compositional dataset for glass beads and pendants analyzed in the project. The data are in an Excel spreadsheet which may be sorted and edited. If you are using these data for comparative purposed, please be sure to cite the dissertation. Major elements are reported in weight percent of oxides, minor elements in parts per million.
Glass Bead Image File Join Table (2015)
This is a two-column spreadsheet listing the name of each *.jpg of all glass beads and pendants examined in the study. They are listed along with the sample ID of each artifact. The images themselves will be uploaded into a separate *.pdf. The complete Filemaker Pro 13 glass bead database, which includes artifact provenience information, images, and compositional analysis results obtained with LA-ICP-MS is available from the author upon request. This is a *.fmp12 file type, which is not...

Metal Artifact Attribute Dataset (2015)
This spreadsheet was exported from the Filemaker Pro database and contains all of the information contained in that database except the images. The join table of image filenames linked to database ID for artifacts is uploaded as a separate file, as is a pdf of the database including the images associated with each record. A fully functional copy of the database (created in Filemaker Pro 13) is available from the author upon request. The Filemaker database filetype (*.fmp12) is not supported by...
Metal Artifact Attribute Dataset Image Join Table (2015)
This is a two-column spreadsheet that lists the name of each image file (*.jpg) associated with each artifact in the metal attribute database. Artifacts are sorted by their database ID (HW-00001 to HW-03410). The actual image files are saved in a Filemaker Pro database, available upon request. Individual artifact images may be located using the database ID number in this table and requested from the author.
"A Thousand Beads to Each Nation:" A social interpretation of glass trade bead distribution in the Upper Great Lakes region of North America (2015)
Through LA-ICP-MS elemental analyses of 874 glass trade beads from 31 early colonial-era archaeological sites in the Upper Great Lakes region of North America, and from late 17th century contexts historically associated with French exploration of the Gulf Coast of Texas, I identify patterning in the spatial and temporal distribution of European glass-bead recipe groups. Trading relationships among Indigenous peoples and outsiders in this French "Upper Country" took place on a complex "middle...
“…A Thousand Beads to Each Nation:” Exchange, Interactions, and Technological Practices in the Upper Great Lakes c. 1630-1730
This project contains all data for Heather Walder's dissertation, completed in spring of 2015. Abstract: This dissertation addresses the timing of the introduction, exchange, and social implications of two complementary lines of evidence, reworked copper and brass objects and glass trade beads, from 38 archaeological sites of the Upper Great Lakes region dated to c. 1630 to 1730. In this situation of intercultural contact and colonialism, local Midwestern Native peoples encountered...
“…A Thousand Beads to Each Nation:” Exchange, Interactions, and Technological Practices in the Upper Great Lakes c. 1630-1730 (2015)
This dissertation addresses the timing of the introduction, exchange, and social implications of two complementary lines of evidence, reworked copper and brass objects and glass trade beads, from 38 archaeological sites of the Upper Great Lakes region dated to c. 1630 to 1730. In this situation of intercultural contact and colonialism, local Midwestern Native peoples encountered European-made trade items, displaced Native newcomers, and eventually non-Native explorers, traders, and missionaries....
