Abstract

"The Maritime Provinces have been inhabited for at least 11 000 years, but the sparse remains of early settlements have made the study of Maritime prehistory a challenge. In this volume, James A. Tuck imaginatively reconstructs the appearance and ways of life of the prehistoric Micmacs and Malecites. Numerous photographs and drawings of archaeological sites and the artifacts discovered there help the reader to understand what life must have been like in the Maritimes in the distant past. A separate chapter on burial ceremonialism demonstrates how much can be deduced from burial sites, not only religious beliefs but also the migration patterns, cultural development and even the everyday life of early peoples."--Back cover.
