  A Guide to Beothuk Iron
by Laurie McLean
  Beothuk Guide Thumb
Order
    Beothuks were the Native inhabitants of the island of Newfoundland who witnessed the early Europeans to visit and live in this part of the New World. They quickly realized that European iron nails and tools could be altered to suit their hunting technologies. The Beothuk practice of recycling European iron items into traditional type tools is one of the fundamental criterion distinguishing them from their prehistoric ancestors. In this guide, archaeologist Laurie McLean summarizes the current understanding of the Beothuk iron industry. Sadly, the last known Beothuk died in 1829. 2003, 20 pages
