Sheguiandah Site: Archaeological, Geological and Paleobotanical Studies at a Paleoindian Site on Manitoulin Island, Ontario

First excavated in the early 1950s, the Sheguiandah site had remained enigmatic for half a century. This volume details controversial early claims that the site had been occupied before the last Ice Age, then covers more recent studies of the geological and botanical history of the area – including new evidence that the site was uninhabited until after the retreat of the glaciers.
