Copper-alloy Artifacts Recovered from Huron Sites: A Chronological Look at Native Manufacturing Techniques

Lisa ANSELMI

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the manufacturing techniques used to create copper-alloy artifacts recovered from a series of attributed Huron archaeological sites in Southern Ontario. An examination of these pieces yields evidence for the chronological development of a series of metalworking techniques which built upon skills employed in the manufacture of other types of objects.
