This is the first detailed analysis of a completely excavated
northern Iroquoian community, a sixteenth-century ancestral Wendat
village on the north shore of Lake Ontario. The site resulted from
the coalescence of multiple small villages into one well-planned
and well-integrated community. Jennifer Birch and Ronald F.
Williamson frame the development of this community in the context
of a historical sequence of site relocations. The social processes
that led to its formation, the political and economic lives of its
inhabitants, and their relationships to other populations in
northeastern North America are explored using multiple scales of
analysis. This book is key for those interested in the history and
archaeology of eastern North America, the social, political, and
economic organization of Iroquoian societies, the archaeology of
communities, and processes of settlement aggregation.
