Abstract
Since 2014, the Tay Point Archaeology Project has actively investigated Ahatsistari (BeGx-76) and Chew (BeGx-9), two Huron-Wendat village sites. Archaeological and historical evidence suggest Ahatsistari and Chew are good candidates for the historically referenced villages of Carhagouha and Quieunonascaran respectively, visited by the French ca. 1615–1616 CE and 1623–1624 CE. The geographic locations, inter-village distances, and sizes of Ahatsistari and Chew correspond with historic accounts of Carhagouha and Quieunonascaran. Recovered European-made artifacts securely date Ahatsistari to the first quarter and Chew to the second quarter of the seventeenth century, matching the recorded occupations of Carhagouha and Quieunonascaran. Exceptionally high glass bead densities and unusual European trade items point to intense trade between the French and Huron-Wendat and the presence of notable European visitors at Ahatsistari. Still to be located at Ahatsistari are a triple palisade and small cabin outside the village of Carhagouha that was occupied by Samuel de Champlain, Recollect friar Joseph Le Caron, and French traders.
自2014年以来,Tay Point考古项目积极调查了两个休伦-文达村遗址Ahatsistari (BeGx-76)和Chew (BeGx-9)。考古和历史证据表明,Ahatsistari和Chew分别是历史上参考的Carhagouha和Quieunonascaran村庄的很好的候选人,法国人分别在公元1615年至1616年和公元1623年至1624年访问过。Ahatsistari和Chew的地理位置、村间距离和大小与Carhagouha和Quieunonascaran的历史记载相符。出土的欧洲制造的文物可以确定Ahatsistari的历史可以追溯到17世纪的第一季度,Chew的历史可以追溯到17世纪的第二季度,与Carhagouha和Quieunonascaran的记载相匹配。异常高的玻璃珠密度和不寻常的欧洲贸易项目表明,法国人和休伦-温达特人之间的贸易非常激烈,而且阿哈茨斯塔里有著名的欧洲游客。位于Ahatsistari的是位于Carhagouha村外的三层栅栏和小木屋,该村庄由Samuel de Champlain, recect修士Joseph Le Caron和法国商人占据。
