Interpreting Long-Term Trends in the Transition to Farming : Reconsidering the Nodwell Site, Ontario, Canada

Over a period of as little as 350 years the inhabitants of Bruce County, Ontario, underwent significant changes in lifestyle, from mobile hunter-gatherers living in small family units, to the development of a sedentary farming community in the village of Nodwell. This report discusses and challenges the colonisation/migration models for this transformation and instead assesses long-term processes and events taking place, changes in settlement patterns, material, cultural and subsistence behaviour.Rankin, Lisa Kathryn is the author of 'Interpreting Long-Term Trends in the Transition to Farming : Reconsidering the Nodwell Site, Ontario, Canada', published 2000 under ISBN 9781841711249 and ISBN 1841711241.
