Summary:

'Fort St. Joseph Revealed' employs archaeological and documentary sources to examine the history and culture of a fur trade society on the frontier of New France. This collection of papers is a compilation of analyses derived from documents, cultural features, plant and animal remains, and various artifacts both to explore the importance of Fort St. Joseph in the past and in the present and to synthesize data on the colonial frontier from the perspective of a single place in the western Great Lakes region.
