Canadian journal of archaeology • 15 • Published In 1991 • Pages: 193-234

By: Reid, C. S., Rajnovich, Grace.

Abstract

Reid and Rajnovich described their findings from the Ballynacre site where they exposed an entire Laurel village composed of three houses and associated features (storage pits and probable drying rack). The authors then compare Ballynacree to other sites with house structures to discuss community and social structure. They also propose three Laurel Composites (Manitoba Lakes, Boundary Waters, and Superior) based on different ceramic types found in these areas. Also presented is a table ('Quick Index') for other authors to compare their ceramic findings to determine a site's time period in the Boundary Waters area.
