In archaeology, models of hunter-gatherer settlement systems derive from concepts developed in ecology. More specifically, mobility strategies, or the nature of seasonal movements across a landscape, are viewed as being closely related to the resource structure of the environment. However, recent advances in ecology acknowledge the importance of history, disturbance, and contingency in the interpretation of biotic communities. Furthermore, humans are often identified as integral components of the ecosystem and important agents of disturbance, especially in the field of historical ecology. Unfortunately, research in historical ecology has concentrated on the impact of agricultural practices, leaving one with the impression that human groups were not important agents of disturbance before the domestication of plants and animals. The goal of this presentation is to argue that even the activities of hunter-gatherers are relevant when interpreting the development of biotic communities across the world.

Recent research into the environmental history of the Northwest Coast has revealed the significant cultural impact that pre-contact and contact period Indigenous communities had on the surrounding landscape. Ethnobotanical, paleoenvironmental, ethnographic, and archaeological approaches have documented the degrees to which people managed ecosystems or otherwise altered the physical landscape in places once considered \"wilderness\" by newcomers. Less attention has been paid to the ways in which landscapes were socially constructed and how living and working in such places gave meaning to social life at a variety of scales. Drawing from ethnographic, environmental and archaeological evidence, and taking into account how changes in the land would have become entangled within the routines of working the landscape, this article examines and interprets some of the social distinctions that people might have constructed through these places in the past. Two case studies from the central Coast Salish region are examined: first, the social practices and landscape features associated with cedar bark-stripping; and second, gardening traditions in sub-alpine areas of the Coast and Cascade Mountains. The results of this study suggest that we cannot separate economic (or cultural) patterns from the social qualities that are implicated within the practice of landscape modification, and that working and living through such places was socially consequential and bound up with concepts of history, memory, and identity.

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) has been previously applied successfully to the analysis of artifact assemblages from archaeological contexts. Despite the suitability of archaeological faunal data to such analysis, MDS has not been applied to faunal data. In this study, MDS analysis was applied to 21 faunal assemblages from 14 Graham Tradition sites in the Kunghit region of southern Haida Gwaii. A separation of salmon-dominated and rockfish-dominated assemblages provided the strongest result of this analysis, strengthening previous interpretations made for these data. Additionally, MDS analysis revealed functional and regional variability that had not been previously identified. Functionality was reflected in the separation of differing site types, while regional distribution of resources was also highlighted by the analysis. These results contribute to an understanding of Kunghit Haida subsistence and settlement while demonstrating the utility of MDS for faunal analysis.

The archaeological investigation of African life in Europe{\textquoteright}s New World has been a major focus of much historical archaeology for decades. Canadian historical archaeologists, except for a number in Nova Scotia, generally have not pursued this line of research. This paper offers a brief history of African Diaspora archaeology, provides an overview of the research in Nova Scotia, and presents three topics amenable to further research in African Canada.

Sherds from three mid-19th century glassworks in the Como-Hudson area, Qu{\'e}bec, were analysed for their major, minor, and selected trace element contents. The compositional data indicate that local sand is insufficiently silicious to have been used in its manufacture, and thus do not support historical evidence to the contrary. Although the major-element compositions of Como and Hudson glass overlap, they differ from some contemporary Ontario wares, particularly with regard to their CaO, Na2O, MgO, and Al2O3 contents. However, the possibility that imported scrap glass (cullet) was used in some early glassworks requires that caution be exercised where the compositions of excavated sherds from factory sites are to be used for provenance studies.

The mineralogy and bulk chemical compositions of 33 potsherds (14 shell-tempered, 19 grit-tempered) and local sediments (sand and clay, where present) from six pre-contact Mi{\textquoteright}kmaw sites across southern mainland Nova Scotia were determined, and are compared to samples from a long-used aboriginal site (BdDk-1) near the mouth of Bear River, in the Annapolis Basin. The immediate area around four of these sites (at Brighton, Port Joli, Wynacht Cove and Frost Fish Cove), all coastal, lack surface clay deposits, but good-quality clay is abundant in areas once overlain by glacial lakes. These include the two inland localities (at Enfield and Melanson) and the Annapolis Basin. Grit temper is dominated by the mineralogical constituents of biotite granodiorite found near Bear River. Muscovite is virtually absent, precluding the use of two-mica monzogranite as temper. The mineralogical criteria linking grit-tempered sherds to the Bear River area are supported by statistical analysis of bulk compositional data for the sample suite. Shell-tempered samples lack granodiorite clasts, so are compositionally distinct except where calcium-poor (i.e., contain little shell material). Those from Bear River overlap the compositions of shell-tempered samples from the sites along the Atlantic coast, suggesting a common origin. We postulate that pottery from the Annapolis Basin was distributed to other sites in the province via navigable waterways.

Chemical analysis shows that several of the alleged Mallorytown glass pitchers, bowls, and tumblers in the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) have distinctive potassic soda-lime (K+Na+Ca-rich) compositions that resemble waste glass from the factory site, thereby supporting their attribution to this, the first-known Canadian glassworks. The composition of one object in particular, the Burnham\&$\#$39; bowl, so closely resembles this waste glass that it can now be considered to be an authenticated Mallorytown artifact. Although potassic soda-lime cullet and waste glass have also been recovered from the contemporary Redford and Redwood glassworks in upstate New York, their compositions tend to differ both from one another and from Mallorytown glass. Some of the cullet associated with these glassworks, however, consists of low-K soda-lime glass, and at Redwood, this was used to make window panes and, on an ad hoc basis, tableware. In addition, some shaped low-K glass objects were recovered from the Mallorytown site, suggesting that this type of glass might also have been used to make tableware such as one of the alleged Mallorytown pitchers in the ROM\&$\#$39;s collection. Based on its composition, however, it seems likely that this particular pitcher was made at Redwood. \&$\#$39;

The Rockingham Inn, ten kilometres north of Halifax, was initially built as part of a barracks complex erected in 1796, but was later converted to an inn that was home to the Rockingham Club, an elite men\&$\#$39;s club whose members included many of Halifax\&$\#$39;s most prominent citizens. After the demise of the Club in 1814, the inn continued to serve the local community until its destruction by fire in 1833. A fragment from a chocolate mug recovered from the Rockingham Inn site has the composition of true (hard-paste) porcelain. Compositionally, the body of this object most closely resembles the true porcelain manufactured at the Caughley (c.l795- 1799)/Coalport (c.1799-1837) and Plymouth (c.l768-1770)/Bristol (c.1770-1781) works, but it has an alkali-lime (rather than lead-rich) glaze similar to Bristol\&$\#$39;s. This artifact is therefore tentatively attributed to Bristol, but additional analytical data for these and other early British true porcelains are required to confirm this attribution.

Seven sherds of ancestral (Woodland Period) Mi\’kmaq pottery excavated from L\’sitkuk Bear River (\“LBR\”; Borden number BdDk-1) and sediments from the Annapolis Basin, its tributaries, and elsewhere in southwestern Nova Scotia are chemically analyzed. The goal of this investigation is to (1) compositionally characterize these ceramic wares, and (2) identify the source of the raw materials used in their manufacture to confirm that these ceramic artifacts were produced near to where they were found. The results identified two compositional groupings of pottery and one outlier sample. One group (Group A) is enriched in diverse trace elements (notably the Rare Earth Elements and some high field-strength elements) that exploratory statistics (multidimensional scaling) indicate are geochemically linked to sand and the most Al-rich clays from the Annapolis Basin/Bear River area as well as disaggregated biotite granodiorite derived from Devonian plutons cropping out inland. Sherds with lower concentrations of these trace elements (Group B) are linked to clays along the Annapolis River, and are depleted in granodiorite constituents. The outlier has a composition similar to Group B sherds but contains some distinct temper grains (e.g., Mg-rich biotite). The trace element signature of LBR pottery is largely controlled by accessory minerals, notably phosphates such as monazite that originate at least in part in the granodiorite. The granodiorite temper grains in the potsherds more clearly link these ceramics to this area than the other materials used in their production. Although recognized as an important trade and meeting site with a continuous cultural sequence between ca. 2150 and ca.\ 950 B.P., the analytical data reported here suggest that LBR pottery, including the anomalous sample, were produced domestically, and that the ancestral Mi\’kmaq potters were highly selective in choosing the raw materials they used to make their wares.

Redware pottery sherds from six 19th-century eastern Canadian potworks were analysed to determine their major-element chemical composition, mineralogy, and glazing. This was done in an attempt to trace individual pottery specimens to their factory source. The results indicate that whereas unsourced potsherds can be distinguished geochemically, none can yet be traced to a specific factory. Additional analyses of samples from eastern Canadian, New England, and Britain are required to identify the sources of the redware found in many 18th- and 19th-century Maritime archaeological sites.
