This study compares soil acidity and skeletal preservation at the eighteenthcentury Fortress of Louisbourg. Soil acidity was tested in 60 individual burials using a Lusterleaf 1612 Rapitest soil pH kit. These results were then compared to skeletal preservation, coffin use, and burial depth. pH levels ranged between 4.5 (acid) to 7.5 (alkaline). There was a clear correlation between increased skeletal preservation and more neutral pH, as expected. Additionally, mortuary treatment and burial depth were also correlated with soil pH, where individuals interred in a coffin or at deeper depths saw increased soil acidity. The location of these interments in relation to homestead features and defunct lime kilns also likely influenced this pH variability. This study highlights the need to consider previous site use and mortuary practices when assessing differential skeletal preservation in complex cemetery assemblages.

The Lafarge site consists solely of the burial of a young adult man. Four projectile points found with the skeleton can each be associated with traumatic lesions in the bones, showing that he had been struck by four projectiles coming from behind him. Two ribs were also badly fractured and there are scalping cuts on the frontal and left temporal bones. The forms and materials of the points suggest that the assailants were Princess Point people or people from the early Glen Meyer period, but the identity of the victim is unknown. The scalping indicates that he must have been from a different community, but there is no reason to assume that community was distant or culturally distinct from that of his assailants. The isolated location of the burial is early evidence of the fear of the spirits of those killed in combat.

The McDonald and Droulers sites, located in Southwestern Quebec, are village settlements of the St.\ Lawrence Iroquoians dating from the fifteenth century A.D. The collections from these sites contain a group of 11 bone projectile points cynlindrical in shape, hollowed, with a concave base and a beveled distal end. An interregional comparison of Iroquoian assemblages of bone artifacts allows the recognition of a type of point that appears to be characteristic of, but not necessarily exclusive to, the St.\ Lawrence Iroquoians, while the variant showing a straight base is more common on sites occupied by the Hurons or ancestral Hurons

The Quackenbush site (BdGm-l) is located in what is now Ontario, at the northeastern limit of the area known to have been occupied by the Huron-Wendat pre-dispersal and visited by the Anishinaabeg of the Canadian Shield. Excavations of portions of the site half a century ago uncovered parts of three longhouses and midden deposits. We generated the data presented here as part of a larger scholarly effort aimed at analyzing and writing up all of the material culture from the site. We investigate ways in which faunal remains can be used to inform on the nature of the activities conducted at the site and to trace past interactions between the site{\textquoteright}s occupants and people living on the Canadian Shield and in the St. Lawrence Valley at that time, finding tentative evidence for the former and more conclusive evidence for the latter. We hypothesize that people originating from the St. Lawrence Valley were present at the Quackenbush site and making bone artifacts as a way of maintaining or negotiating identity.

The Wakimika Petroglyph site located in northeastern Ontario is a rare rock art site within the Canadian Shield that exhibits stylistic similarities with petroglyph sites of the Lake-of-the-Woods style. This style, identified at the Mud Portage site in northwestern Ontario, has been linked with rock art that could date to between 3000{\textendash}5000\ BCE. The Wakimika petroglyphs are located in the Temagami area that is rich in pictograph sites. On the basis of pictorial content and execution, it is argued that these two types of rock art (petroglyphs and pictographs) did not fulfill the same functions and that the difference between them might stem from the different type of knowledge that these places conveyed.
