	abstract = {<p>Archaeologists have tended to assume that ethnic groups\&$\#$39; are holistic; that they form homogeneous, coherent, and discrete social entities. In Ontario, ethnic entities are identified archaeologically through decorative patterns that indicate ethnic affiliation. In this case study, I examine the degree that holism can be identified along the hypothesized \&$\#$39;Younge phase Western Basin-Early Ontario Iroquoian\&$\#$39; boundary through an analysis of ceramics from the Van Bree site. While ceramic material from Van Bree indicates that a distinct ethnic border probably separated the producers of Younge and Early Ontario \&$\#$39;Iroquois\&$\#$39; ceramics, it also suggests that these groups did not form holistic social entities that used decorative variation to symbolize their respective ethnic identities.\&$\#$39;</p>},
