Download or read book Walker Site The Hamilton Site A Late Historic Neutral Town written by Milton J. Wright and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These two master’s theses represent the first detailed reports on historic Neutral village sites. An analysis of the Walker site, a large ten acre, nonpalisaded Neutral Iroquois town occupied circa 1640 A.D. The site provides a comparative baseline for the study of the Neutral Iroquois and demonstrates trends and relationships extant during the late part of the Neutral sequence. Analysis indicates Neutral Iroquois occupancy of the six acre Hamilton site from circa 1638 to 1650 A.D., but the presence of a high percentage of foreign pottery raises a number of interpretational hypothesis to account for it.
