High collared pottery rim sherds from sites designated as Huron-Wendat and St. Lawrence Iroquoian are analysed using a community of practice approach. Using several analytical methods on the same ceramic sherds, we aimed to determine the technological choices made by potters. We focused specifically on clay selection, temper selection and processing, preparation of the clay body and formation of the rim. Our findings demonstrate that for each step in the production process there are a range of practices represented within the study region. However, comparison with adjacent areas and earlier periods shows that there is consistency in technological choices that are specific to our study area. We argue that this is consistent with connections between the pottery making traditions in the Simcoe Uplands in Ontario and the St. Lawrence Valley areas. As traditions were maintained by people, so we envision connected communities across the study area.

We provide a critical response to Andrew Martindale and Natasha Lyons\’ 2014 special section on Community-Oriented Archaeology (Canadian Journal of Archaeology Volume 38, Issue 2), discussing the authors\’ definitions, interpretations, and motivations around archaeology and community. By not defining archaeology in terms of how it is most commonly practiced, we argue the collective work misses the mark, with serious consequences for descendent communities. We show how Community-Oriented Archaeology appropriates the challenge posed to archaeologists to make their discipline relevant and responsive to Indigenous communities; instead, the authors foreground archaeology itself and reaffirm the privilege of non-Indigenous archaeologists, especially academic archaeologists. By considering what is excluded and taken-for-granted, we examine the special section in terms of selection bias and revisionist history. We suggest Community-Oriented Archaeology co-opts aspects of Indigenous, critical, and radical discourses to legitimize the institution and practice, in the process forgetting what is at stake for Indigenous peoples. Rather than focusing on the needs of archaeology and archaeologists, we emphasize the interests of Indigenous communities and address uncomfortable truths about institutional racism and systemic inequality. As the editors had hoped, Community-Oriented Archaeology makes us \“squirm,\” but not for the reasons they intended.

This paper shows that Basques from Spain were present in the Strait of Belle Isle and Gran Baya, the northeast arm of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, throughout the seventeenth century. Thus, the Basque presence was roughly coterminous with Inuit expansion into this region. Using both historical and archaeological sources, the paper first summarises evidence that Basque navigation to the study area continued without interruption until about 1700. Secondly, it shows that Basques from Spain engaged in sealing and suggests that the seal economy brought them into direct contact with the Inuit, either as competitors or collaborators. Thirdly, it analyses traces of Basque cultural influences in seventeenth-century Inuit society.}, author = {Brad Loewen} } @Book Reviews/Comptes-rendus {11118, title = {Where the Wind Blows Us: Practicing Critical Community Archaeology in the Canadian North}, volume = {40}, year = {2016}, pages = {209-212}, editor = {Laurence G.

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.
