ed ochre. What can be said about such sites without visual symbols? In<strong>de</strong>ed some cluesare found in Innu traditions as well as in XVIIIth century’s old maps, but the results of the2011 summer fieldwork offer additional answers and some insights for the betterinterpretation of what appears to be rock art sites without graphic.Aslan, Jasmine Métis Captains’ Coats: Articulating Similarity and Difference (25)Although the establishment of the fur tra<strong>de</strong> in North America is often <strong>de</strong>scribed innegative or <strong>de</strong>structive terms, cultural contact also engen<strong>de</strong>red processes of creation andinvention. From the 16 th century on, indigenous groups assimilated foreign goods andmanufacturing techniques, producing any <strong>number</strong> of ‘hybrid’ artefacts. In this paper, Idiscuss the emergence and evolution of one such class of objects: painted hi<strong>de</strong> captains’coats. Ma<strong>de</strong> according to traditional processes, they nonetheless reflect striking Europeaninfluences in their <strong>de</strong>sign. My discussion of these artifacts hinges on research I conductedinto the ethnohistories of two such garments from the British and Pitt Rivers museums’collections. In the first part of my paper, I consi<strong>de</strong>r mo<strong>de</strong>ls and approaches in the study ofhybrid artifacts, and the ways in which these affected my ethno-archaeological analyses ofthese specimens. In the second, I present my findings; the outcome of my research intotheir ethnohistories.Astudillo, Fernando (University of Calgary), Daniela Balanzátegui, and BarbaraWinter (Simon Fraser University) Collectors, Forgers, and Looters: The History behindAn<strong>de</strong>an Ancient Art (1) The publication of “Inci<strong>de</strong>nts of Travel and Expedition in theLand of the Incas” (Squier 1887), showing drawings of Inca art, created a <strong>de</strong>mand inEurope and North America for “An<strong>de</strong>an antiquities”. As result, collectors and museumsinclu<strong>de</strong>d in their wish list the An<strong>de</strong>an art as an essential piece. The <strong>de</strong>mand created anetwork of looters and artisans that ma<strong>de</strong> replicas often sold as authentic. These replicasare now part of the mo<strong>de</strong>rn museum collections worldwi<strong>de</strong>. The Museum of Archaeologyand Ethnology of Simon Fraser University (Burnaby, B.C), have objects associated withAn<strong>de</strong>an pre-Columbian societies such as Inca, Chimu, Moche, Pasto, Quimbaya, Tumaco-La Tolita, Manteño, and Sican. In the format of a museum temporary exhibit we presentedto the public the probable reasons why the ceramics form part of the collection. Objects ofAn<strong>de</strong>an cultures have special significance for collectors and museums; however, it doesnot mean that they are authentic.Bain 1 , Allison, William Moss 2 , Réginald Auger 1 and Marcel Moussette 1 1 UniversitéLaval, 2 Ville <strong>de</strong> Québec Celebrating 30 years of Teaching and Promoting HistoricalArchaeology in Quebec City (28) In partnership with the Ville <strong>de</strong> Québec and Québec’sMinistry of Culture, Communications and Women’s Condition, Université Laval hasoffered a field school in Historical Archaeology since 1982. In 2012 we will celebratethirty years of training young archaeologists. Over 400 un<strong>de</strong>rgraduate and graduateschools have been trained un<strong>de</strong>r three different field directors. The school has worked atthree major sites in the City: the Intendant’s Palais; Domaine <strong>de</strong> Maizerets and the îlotHunt site, now known as the award-winning Auberge Saint-Antoine. This presentationwill discuss each of these projects and will highlight the importance of consistent trainingand collecting methods, and the key role that long term partnership agreements haveplayed for research and the <strong>de</strong>velopment of theoretical agendas as well as for thepromotion of archaeology within this UNESCO World Heritage City.
