To Live in a Longhouse: A Case Study from Iroquoian Village Sites in Southern Quebec

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Hearth and Home in the Indigenous Northeast" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Archaeologists have been largely interested in documenting the architecture, variability, evolution, and even the symbolism of Iroquoian longhouses for several decades in the Northeast, often using the village or the region as the preferred scale of analysis. However, the study of daily life inside these longhouses has not received the same attention; for example, in regard to the organization of labor or the emergence of inequalities, among other social dimensions. This presentation will adopt a different, smaller scale of analysis to address these issues through a series of inter- and intra-longhouse comparisons from Late Woodland Iroquoian village sites located in St-Anicet, southern Quebec.
