Description



About the Book



This book presents the work of the E'se'get archaeological project, a community-based research to better define the archaeological inventory of the port of Port Joli, Nova Scotia. French ed.



Book Synopsis



The book describes in detail the findings of five seasons (2008-2012) of survey and excavation in Port Joli, and ten years of laboratory analysis, undertaken by the Canadian Museum of History, in collaboration with Acadia First Nation. It also incorporates data recovered from previous archaeological work conducted in Port Joli by Erskine, Raddall, Millard, and others, providing a complete synthesis of one of Nova Scotia's richest Indigenous archaeological records.
Reviving the art of a traditional archaeology "site monograph", the work provides a complete presentation of all the archaeological information recovered, including full-colour artifact plates, technical drawings, profiles, and maps, in addition to a complete data description and synthesis.
The final chapter presents a culture history of the Port Joli, summarizing how the "pretty harbour" became a central place for Mi'kmaq prior to the arrival of Europeans.
A copublication with the Canadian Museum of History.
This book is published in English.

L'ouvrage décrit avec précision les résultats de cette initiative du Musée canadien de l'histoire, menée en collaboration avec la Première Nation d'Acadia, attribuables à cinq saisons (de 2008 à 2012) d'études et de fouilles menées à Port Joli ainsi qu'à 10 années d'analyses en laboratoire. Il comprend aussi des données provenant de travaux archéologiques antérieurs menés à Port Joli par Erskine, Raddall, Millard et d'autres, offrant ainsi une synthèse complète de l'un des plus importants inventaires archéologiques autochtones de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Conjuguant l'approche monographique plus traditionnelle pour traiter d'un site archéologique, cet ouvrage fournit un portrait détaillé de toutes les informations archéologiques récupérées, notamment des artefacts tels que des assiettes colorées, des dessins techniques, des profils et des cartes, en plus d'une description complète des données recueillies.
Le dernier chapitre offre une histoire culturelle de Port Joli, résumant comment ce « joli port » est devenu un endroit central pour les Mi'kmaq avant l'arrivée des Européens.
Une coédition avec le Musée canadien de l'histoire.
Ce livre est publié en anglais.
