Archaeological perspectives on the French in the New World /edited by Elizabeth M. Scott.

Archaeology has shown that the French presence and influence in the Americas goes far beyond Québec, New Orleans, and the French and Indian War. This volume serves as a corrective to the narrowness of the study of French contributions to the New World societies.

Includes bibliographies and index.
