 | Bones of the Ancestors: The Archaeology and Osteobiography of the Moatfield Ossuary Subjects: Moatfield Site (Ont.); Human remains (Archaeology) -- Ontario -- Toronto; Iroquoian Indians -- Antiquities; Excavations (Archaeology) -- Ontario -- Toronto; This book provides a rare glimpse of thirteenth century life and death in a southern Ontario Iroquoian community. The discovery in 1997 of an Iroquoian ossuary containing the remains of at least 87 people has given scientists a remarkably detailed demographic profile of the Moatfield people, as well as strong indicators of their health and diet. |
