This volume is the result of a conference held in St. John's, Newfoundland in October 2004 to mark the retirement of Jim Tuck. The wide geographical and topical scope of the papers reflects the honorand's diverse contributions to the archaeology of eastern North America, from the Arctic to the Great Lakes, from the Archaic to European colonization. The topics covered include an examination of caribou drive systems and phytolith research into plant use in the far north; analysis of defensive features in sixteenth-century Iroquois hilltop communities; site survey and excavation data from Quebec's Lower North Shore, Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula and other sites; a look at the life of a gentry family and into the circumstances of the founding of St. Mary's City in seventeenth-century Newfoundland, and other studies of settlers' experiences; the archaeology of pre-Confederation aviation in Newfoundland; discussion of archaeology as a discipline and public engagement in North America, and much more.
