European Manufactured Item Assemblages from 16th and 17th Century Tionontate, Wendat, and Attiwandaron sites in southern Ontario, Canada

Summary

This dataset contains count and type information for European Manufactured Items (metal objects and glass beads) removed from Tionontate, Wendat, and Attiwandaron sites occupied ca. AD 1500-1650 in southern Ontario, Canada. Data were compiled from published sources and grey literature, and represent a large portion, but probably not every item from every applicable site in the province. More detailed information about how this dataset was assembled can be found in the dissertation: Conger, Megan 2022, Radiocarbon Dating Early Trade and World System Expansion in Iroquoian Southern Ontario, Canada, AD 1550-1650, Department of Anthropology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA.
