Forest vegetation is somewhat transitional between the boreal regions to the north in Canada and the broadleaf deciduous forests to the south. Typical forest types include northern hardwoods (maple-beech-birch), northern hardwoods/spruce, and northeastern spruce-fir forests. Recreation, tourism, and forestry are primary land uses. Farm-to-forest conversion began in the 19th century and continues today.

    A LATE MARITIME WOODLAND PESKOTOMUHKATI FISHERY FROM THE MAINLAND QUODDY REGION, SOUTHWESTERN NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA by W. Jesse Webb B.A. (Hons.), Anthropology, 2009 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Academic Unit of Anthropology Supervisors: Susan E. Blair, Ph.D, Anthropology, Chair Matthew W. Betts, Ph.D, Anthropology Examining Board: Darcy J. Dignam, M.A., Anthropology Richard A. Cunjak, Ph.D., Biology This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK April 2018 © William Jesse Webb, 2018 ABSTRACT The nature of precontact Indigenous fisheries and their significance to subsistence economies, seasonal mobility, and diachronic cultural change remain underdeveloped in the archaeology of the Maritime Peninsula, northeastern North America. This thesis presents an analysis of a precontact fishery from BgDs-15, a small shell-bearing site located on the northern mainland of Passamaquoddy Bay, southwestern New Brunswick, Canada. Several hundred bones recovered during the 2004 field excavations and over 3,000 fish remains from midden column and bulk feature samples were examined. Most of these fish bones are attributable to Atlantic tomcod (Microgadus tomcod Walbaum, 1792) and unidentified, tomcod-sized gadids, with some herring (Clupeidae) present. Multiple lines of complementary evidence, including taxonomic composition, relative abundances, skeletal element frequency, seasonality, and the ethnohistoric record were examined to produce a high-resolution analysis of the BgDs-15 fishery and provide insight into ancestral Peskotomuhkati settlement-subsistence strategies during the Late Maritime Woodland period (ca. 1350–550 BP). ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The process of developing this thesis has, on the one hand, been the ideal of curiosity-driven academic research and, on the other, a Sisyphean personal struggle.
