Threads across the Atlantic : tracing the European origins of eighteenth-century imported cloth in New France using lead seal evidence from three French colonial sites

Davis, Cathrine 20 December 2018 (has links)
Les sceaux de plomb sont des artefacts relativement inconnus mais très importants comme sources d’information sur les textiles et leur consommation aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Ces étiquettes en plomb souvent attachées aux textiles ont servi comme indicateurs de qualité, de possession et de paiement des impôts sur ces textiles et autres biens commerciaux. Trouvés sur plusieurs sites archéologiques en Amérique du Nord, ces sceaux sont des indicateurs des origines éuropéennes des textiles ainsi que des réseaux marchands nécessaires pour les transporter vers la Nouvelle-France, un espace colonial fort dépendant de la métropole. Cette étude vise à découvrir de nouveaux détails sur les formes de consommation textile uniques de trois sites différents par leur localisation, leurs fonctions et leur population en utilisant les sceaux de plomb qui s’y trouvent. Les sceaux de trois sites français de l’époque coloniale seront examinés; le fort Saint-Joseph (Niles, MI), fort Ticonderoga (à Ticonderoga, NY, aussi connu sur le nom de fort Carillon) et la forteresse de Louisbourg (Louisbourg, NÉ). / Lead seals are relatively unknown artifacts, but are important as sources of information concerning textiles and their consumption in the seventeeth and eighteenth centuries. These lead tags were often attached to textiles and were proof of quality, ownership, and payment of taxes on textiles and other commercial goods. Found at many archaeological sites in North America, these seals are indicators of the European origins of imported textiles as well as merchant networks needed in order to transport them to New France, a colonial territory that was very dependent on the metropole. This study aims to discover new details concerning the unique consumption patterns present as three sites with different functions, locations, and populations, using the lead seals found at these sites. Seals from three French sites from the colonial period will be examined; Fort St. Joseph (Niles, MI), Fort Ticonderoga (Ticonderoga, NY, also known as Fort Carillon), and Fortress Louisbourg (Louisbourg, NS).
