The first report describes a study of animal bones from French (1715-60) and British (1760-80) refuse pits at Fort Michilimackinac (Mackinaw City, Michigan) which reveals subsistence patterns of the Europeans during their occupation of the site. The second study examines the distinctiveness of Gaspé as an historical unit and its place in the French Empire. The third study, on the excavation of the Armstrong Mount -- one of a group of at least 11 Indian burial mounds along the north bank of Rainy River at the Long Sault Rapids, west of Fort Frances, Ontario -- outlines the nature of the mount, the relative age and cultural affiliation.
