Today, the manufacturing technique employed by the Native artisan is quite similar to the Puropean method of softening the metal by heating it to red hot, shaping, reheating and then quenching to harden the metal. However, in former times the temperatures and speeds of the heating and cooling processes were varied so as to circumvent the need for high temperatures while still producing metals whose properties suited the intended tasks. Such detailed technical knowledge may find some parallels in the prehistoric working of native copper, but more likely it was a method learned from Europeans and modified to suit the new and varied conditions of adaptation to the boreal forest. Although precursors have been proposed (especially modified rodent incisors), functional parallels are lacking. Rather, it would appear that it was the coalescing of the native technical knowledge and adaptive skills essential to life in the boreal forest, and the metallurgical knowledge of the Europeans trading into eastern North America which likely led to the innovation of the mocotagan.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">L&#039;origine du couteau croche algonquien, le mocotagan, réside peut-être dans la manipulation préhistorique du cuivre natif. Le prédécesseur du mocotagan pourrait être l&#039;incisive emmanchée d&#039;un rongeur quelconque. Nous croyons, cependant, que le mocotagan résulte de la combinaison des connaissances techniques requises pour la vie en forêt boréale et de la connaissance technologique européene du travail de l&#039;acier. De nos jours, des mocotagans, faits à partir de vieilles limes, sont souvent fabriqués en employant des techniques plutôt européenes. Par le passé, on variait la température, la durée du rechauffement et du refroidissement afin de produire un métal répondant aux exigences des t’ches auxquelles étaient soumis les outils d&#039;acier (couteaux, pic à glace, harpons, etc.) sans utiliser les plus hautes températures de la méthode européenne.</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>13</ref-type><contributors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cynthia Zutter</style></author></secondary-authors><subsidiary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">S.
