Sheltering New France
The third installment in the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project Booklet Series, Sheltering New France, showcases the buildings that Native Americans and French colonists constructed. This booklet begins by exploring Native American architecture in the western Great Lakes region and transitions to the construction styles and techniques employed by Europeans when they entered the region in the late seventeenth century. Fort St. Joseph is the final focus, where architectural remains and artifacts reveal the first buildings identified at this site.
