Some Social Implications of the Iroquois 'In Situ' Theory
Volume: OA13
Year: 1969
Author: NOBLE, W. C.
Page Range: 16 - 28
Abstract: Development of three northeastern Iroquois Traditions (Wright 1966; Noble 1968). Continuing studies substantiate 'in situ' development to the point that MacNeish's once simplistic 'enfant terrible' has matured and may now be considered a bona fide theory."

The MacDougald Site
Volume: OA13
Year: 1969
Author: PENDERGAST, J. F.
Page Range: 29 - 53
Abstract: The report sets out a detailed description of the site location and the artifacts recovered. It concludes that the site is one of a number of small Iroquoian sites near the St. Lawrence River which are either farm hamlets or fishing stations used by the inhabitants of nearby major Iroquoian villages located further inland from the St. Lawrence River. The site is assessed as being a fishing station but at present sufficient data is not available to suggest an affiliation with a major village site in the area.

Bear Jaw Tools from Petun Sites
Volume: OA13
Year: 1969
Author: GARRAD, C.
Page Range: 54 - 60
Abstract: A number of purposefully modified bear jaws are reported and described. The writer has recovered eight bear-jaws all having similar modification and wear-pattern characteristics, six of which are illustrated and described in detail in this paper. The exact purpose of the modification is unknown, but it would seem reasonable that it was to convert the jaw into a tool. A study of the wear-polish allows some suggestions to be made concerning the possible use of these tools.
