Morand, Lynn Louise. "Craft Industries at Fort Michilimackinac, An Eighteenth-Century Fur Trade Outpost," American Civilization Program, University of Pennsylvania, May 1993. Advisor: Robert L. Schuyler (Archaeology, 10, 8)
This dissertation is an historical archaeological study of the craft industries at Fort Michilimackinac, a mission, fur trade, and military outpost on the eighteenth-century Great Lakes frontier. Craft industries are non-agricultural activities producing surplus goods beyond the producing household’s needs. Craftsmen necessary for survival of the settlement were sponsored by the institutions in authority. Other craft activities were carried on as side activities by traders’ families. Reuse and repair were common survival activities on the frontier.
