Full textThe Saint Lawrence River valley (SLRV) in eastern Canada is one of the most seismically active regions in eastern North America, which is characterized by many intraplate earthquakes. After its rigid plate rotation, the ongoing glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) is by far the largest source of geophysical signal in eastern Canada. In this research, the current crustal deformation and strain rate field of this region was studied using more than 14 years (9 years on average) observations of 112 continuously operating GPS stations. The velocity field was obtained from cleaned position time series of daily GPS solutions by applying a combined model using the weighted least-squares method. We estimated velocity uncertainties by assuming advanced noise models to include the temporal correlation of the position time series. The horizontal velocity field shows the counter-clockwise rotation of the North American plate in the no-net-rotation model with the average of 16.8±0.7 mm/yr constrained to ITRF 2008. The vertical velocity field confirms the GIA-induced uplift all over eastern Canada with the maximum rate of 13.7±1.2 mm/yr and subsidence to the south mainly over north of the United States with a typical rate of −1 to −2 mm/yr and the minimum value of −2.7±1.4 mm/yr. The noise behavior of the GPS position time series was explored by testing five different noise models of power-law, white, white plus flicker, white plus random-walk, and white plus flicker plus random-walk, using the spectral analysis and the maximum likelihood methods. The results show that combination of white plus flicker noise is the best model for describing the stochastic part of the position time series. Furthermore, amplitudes of all noise models are smallest in the north direction and largest in the vertical direction. While amplitudes of the white noise model are almost equal across the study area, they are prevailed by the flicker and the random-walk noise for all directions. Assuming flicker noise model increases uncertainties of the estimated velocities by a factor of 5–38 compared to the white noise model, while the estimated velocities from all noise models are statistically consistent. The estimated Euler pole parameters for this region are slightly but significantly different from the overall rotation of the North American plate. This difference potentially reflects local stress in this seismic region, and the difference in intraplate velocities between the two sides of the SLRV accumulates stress in the faults located along the river. The surface deformation of the region was studied using least-squares collocation. Interpolated intraplate horizontal velocities show a spatially coherent radially outward motion from the centers of maximum uplift to the north and inward motion to the centers of maximum subsidence to the south with a typical velocity of ~1–1.6±0.4 mm/yr. This pattern, however, becomes more complex near the margins of the formerly glaciated areas. Based on their directions, the intraplate horizontal velocities can be divided in three distinct zones. This confirms the existence of three ice domes in the study region before the last glacial maximum. A spatial correlation is observed between areas with higher magnitude of the intraplate horizontal velocity and the seismic zones along the SLRV. The vertical velocities were interpolated to model the ongoing vertical deformation. The model shows maximum uplift rate of 15.6 mm/yr to southeastern of Hudson Bay and a typical subsidence rate of 1–2 mm/yr to the south mainly across the north of the United States. Along the SLRV, horizontal and vertical motions are spatially coherent toward southeast with the typical magnitude of ~1.3 mm/yr relative to North American plate and the average uplift rate of 3.1 mm/yr, respectively. In general, the rate of vertical deformation is typically ~2.4 times larger than the rate of the intraplate horizontal motion in this area. Results of strain analysis show the present-day straining of eastern Canada in the form of extension to the north (the area under uplift) and shortening to the south (the area under subsidence). On average, rotational rates are at the level of 0.011°/Myr. A NNW-SSE shortening with a typical rate of ~3.6–8.1 nstrain/yr is observed over the Lower Saint Lawrence seismic zone. In the Charlevoix seismic zone, an extension with a typical rate of ~3.0–7.1 nstrain/yr is oriented about ENE-WSW. In the western Quebec seismic zone, the deformation has a shear straining mechanism with a typical shortening rate of ~1.0–5.1 nstrain/yr and extension rate of ~1.6–4.1 nstrain/yr. These results are consistent, to the first order, with GIA models and with the maximum horizontal compressional stress of the World Stress Map resulted from focal mechanism method.

Full textLes modes de vie (et mondes de la vie) où se déployaient les savoirs artisanaux en construction navale sont devenus minoritaires au Québec. Dans la Vallée du St-Laurent, ces savoirs d’exception sont néanmoins encore relancés selon différentes perspectives dont ils sont des constituantes primaires, impliquant des relations et préoccupations qui dépassent l’expression d’intérêts individuels au sens strict. Influencés par l’évolution du système-monde capitaliste et par des choix politiques opérés à divers niveaux, ils ont eu tendance à s’arracher de leurs mondes originaires localement : de plusieurs contextes singuliers de leur appréciation, mise en œuvre et production. Alors qu’ils s’exercent aujourd’hui surtout via les champs du loisir et du sport, plusieurs modalités et horizons anciens propres aux habitudes et aux mondes de références de ces savoirs perdurent. Ils sont même parfois investis en critique comme moyens d’expérimentation et d’affirmation de modes d’existence exprimant des affections politiques et sociales particulières en pratique. J’ai rencontré, sur un mode exploratoire, sept artisans de la Vallée du St-Laurent et procédé, entre autres, avec ceux-ci à une série d’entretiens libres et semi-dirigés afin de traduire la situation de ces savoirs chez les artisans. Dans une perspective territoriale et historique, cette recherche révèle nombre de ruptures, passages et continuités.
The ways of life and worlds in which the forms of knowledge of craftsmen were at one time primordial have become marginal or left behind in Quebec. But they are still, in the St. Laurence Valley, exceptionally incorporated into different perspectives in which they are basic components, which imply relations and attentions that overshadow individual interests. Influenced by the capitalist world system as well as constraining political choices at multiple levels, their experiments have been partially take off their natives worlds locally, as from some of the specific contexts in which they were valued, implemented and assessed. While the craftsman’s knowledge bases are now mostly applied to leisure and sport activities today, they are still valued given to the “old” methods and perspectives embedded in their worlds of reference. In some cases, they are explicitly incorporated within a critical perspective as mediators of experimentation of specific “ways of life”, expressing in practice, social and political particular affections. I met with seven craftsmen in the St. Laurence Valley in this exploratory investigation into their worlds, knowledge and traditions, and carried out “free” conversations and semi-directed interviews with them. From a territorial and historic perspective, this work reveals certain ruptures, progressions and continuities.

Full textThe Seven Years War has been storied and very well documented from a military standpoint. Alas, few historians delved into the human and social perspective of the war that haunted the civilian population of the Saint Lawrence Valley. To this end, this thesis will retrace the life trajectories of a remarkably vulnerable group of civilian to highlight the hazards and consequences of the Seven Years War: the "semi widows". They are defined as the women living in the Saint Laurence Valley whose spouses have been captured, declared missing in action or whose deaths have not been officially recorded. The vulnerability of these women is symptomatic of these troubled times in this patriarchal society as they are neither completely widowed, nor fully married. Thus from the uncertainty of their peculiar marital status, many complex obstacles arose. As substitute householders, the semi widows had to ensure their own survival as well as the survival of their young children despite the constraints of a patriarchal system that sought to limit and to regulate women's power. Social networking appears to be amongst the most important survival strategy implemented by these women to lessen their vulnerability, whether it is pre-existing family solidarities or the creation of a new social network. This thesis will also analyze the geographical mobility of the semi widows as a survival strategy during and after the war.

Full textThe purpose of this investigation is to develop a better understanding of the Reventazón Model Forest's (RMF) system, a subsystem of the International Model Forest Network (IMFN), and its potential interaction with other model forests of the IMFN. In this context, the system approach is used to examine the RMF subsystem, within which a variety of components are organized and interconnected. This study first carries out the analysis of one of the RMF components: the agroforestry practices with annual crops in the northern part of the Reventazón watershed. A qualitative methodology is then developed and applied to facilitate the priority ranking of elements potentially transferrable or exchangeable between at least two model forests through the comparison of the RMF (Costa Rica) and the Bas-Saint-Laurent Model Forest (Canada). This study demonstrates the prospect that exists for these sites to establish a closer relationship by engaging in horizontal collaboration and knowledge sharing opportunities.

Full textThis thesis aims to document the context in which metallurgy occured during the transition period and the colonisation of New France and, through the application of theoretical concepts, principally that of the chaînes opératoires of Leroi-Ghouran developed in his study, L’homme et la Matière, conducted in 1943, to provide a better understanding of an important period in the colonial history of North America. Topics specifi c to the processing of metals, the craftsmanship of objects and the infl uence of technology have only been briefly described in studies of material culture in North America. Knowledge concerning metalworkers as well as the social and economic impact of their craft during the 17th and 18th centuries is limited. This research focuses on the study of the chaînes opératoires and the metallurgical techniques employed by Native American and European artisans, as well as the technological choices made throughout the process of metal production during a period of technological adaptation to the environment of New France. The artefacts are studied using tomography (CT scan) and by principles of materials engineering with the goals of identifying the source of the metal, the technical sig nature of the artisans, and the technological problems related to a lack of raw material, as well as to climate and fuel.

Full textLes canyons et chenaux sous-marins sont formés par des courants de densité subaquatiques et sont les principaux conduits par lesquels les sédiments continentaux atteignent les milieux marins profonds. Plusieurs canyons et chenaux sous-marins incisent les marges de l’estuaire et du golfe du Saint-Laurent jusqu’à une profondeur de ≥ 300 m. Des données hydroacoustiques et sédimentologiques récemment acquises ont permis d’analyser en détail la morphologie et les processus sédimentaires tardi-quaternaires qui ont modifié l’architecture de ces systèmes turbiditiques. Quatre types de systèmes turbiditiques ont été identifiés en fonction de leur source respective de sédiments. Un premier type de système, alimenté par la dérive littorale, a été cartographié dans les secteurs de Sept-Îles, Les Escoumins et Tadoussac. La formation et l’évolution de ces trois systèmes semblent être étroitement liées à un apport sédimentaire provenant de l’érosion des rives avoisinantes. Vers la mi-Holocène, alors que la charge sédimentaire provenant des rivières a drastiquement diminué, l’érosion des fronts deltaïques a vraisemblablement contribué à alimenter ces systèmes turbiditiques. L’activité gravitaire est aujourd’hui dominée par des mouvements de masse qui permettent le transfert sédimentaire vers le niveau de base. Un second type de canyon a été découvert dans le secteur de Pointe-des-Monts. Bien qu’il ne reçoive pas d’apport sédimentaire, ce dernier est le seul où des formes en croissant, probablement associées à des courants supercritiques, ont migré récemment. Leur activité holocène peut être expliquée par des mouvements de masse épisodiques et des courants quasi-continus d’origine hydrodynamique se déplaçant sur le plancher marin. Des données sédimentologiques suggèrent que ces courants d’origine hydrodynamique seraient responsables de la formation des canyons. Deux autres types de chenaux et canyons ont été identifiés dans l’estuaire, soit des systèmes reliés aux rivières et aux glaciers. Ces deux types de systèmes ont été actifs majoritairement au début de l’Holocène, alors que la charge sédimentaire transportée vers l’estuaire était plus importante, permettant la génération de courants hyperpycnaux. Ainsi, cette recherche a permis de démontrer la variabilité morphologique des canyons et chenaux de l’estuaire et du golfe du Saint-Laurent ainsi que les différentes phases d’activité et types de processus gravitaires qui ont mené à la formation de systèmes turbiditiques dans un contexte tectonique et climatique similaire.
Submarine canyons and channels are formed by subaqueous sediment density flows and are the main conduits through which continental sediments reach deeper sedimentary basins. Numerous submarine canyons and channels incise the margins of the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence, to a depth of ≥ 300 m. Multibeam bathymetry, acoustic backscatter, seismic reflection and sedimentological analysis have allowed examining in great detail the morphology and the late-Quaternary sedimentary processes within these systems. Four types of submarine fans were identified based on their respective source of sediment. A submarine fan located in ≤ 60 m deep in the Sept-Îles sector has illlustrated the role of longshore drift on the formation and evolution of such systems. Longshore drift, through submarine transverse bars and coastal sand bars, forced the formation of a submarine fan near 5 ka BP. Its activity is now dominated by the passage of low density/intensity flows forming sandwaves on the edge of the coastal shelf and high energy flows (probably slope failures) that allow the accumulation of sediment on the deeper submarine fan. Two other systems fed by longshore drift were identified in the Tadoussac and Les Escoumins sectors, where similar recent episodic activity has been described. A second type of canyon system was discovered in the Pointe-des-Monts sector. These canyons are sediment-starved and yet, they are the only systems in which crescentic bedforms recently migrated upslope. Their short- and long-term activity can be explained by slope failures and quasi-continuous hydrodynamic processes along the seafloor. Sedimentological data suggest that quasi-continuous flows of hydrodynamic origin are responsible for the formation of the canyons. Two other types of channels and canyons were identified in the St. Lawrence: systems fed by rivers and glaciers. Both types of systems were active mainly in the early-Holocene, when sediment supply to the St. Lawrence was greater. When sediment supply drastically diminished during mid-Holocene, erosion of deltaic fronts likely led to an increase in longshore-drift transport and the formation and/or continuated activity of the Sept-Îles and Les Escoumins systems.

Full textOptically stimulated luminescence (OSL) has been measured on 17 ceramic sherds collected at the Mailhot-Curran site (BgFn-2), a Late Woodland archaeological site located in south west Quebec. The main goal of this project was to date the youngest prehistoric village found in the Saint Anicet cluster to establish its position in the chronological framework of the area. OSL was used conjointly with radiocarbon dating (14C) and seriation of the archaeological remains. The archaeological hypothesis proposes an occupation of this village between 1518 and 1530 A.D. (Chapdelaine 2015a). The luminescence results we present in this master’s thesis are in agreement with this proposal : we obtained an age of 490 ± 49, which corresponds to A.D. 1523 with the probability of occupation at the Mailhot-Curran site between A.D. 1474 and 1572. The luminescence dating program was carried out on local ceramics composed of fired late Quaternary Champlain Sea clays. IRSL (infrared stimulated luminescence) was preferentially used on polymineral fine-grains aliquots. A modified SAR-IRSL protocol including optical bleaching was used to measure the equivalent doses (Murray and Wintle 2000, Lamothe et al. 2004). G values were measured following the protocol proposed by Auclair et al. (2003). The Huntley-Lamothe correction for anomalous fading (Huntley and Lamothe 2001) was used to adjust the equivalent dose. Annual doses were assessed by in situ and laboratory measurements. The results we present here are affected by a large range in the dates. This variability was taken into account by statistical methods in the determination of the age of the Mailhot-Curran site occupation.

Full textAmong the large number of artefacts found on the Droulers/Tsiionhiakwatha Iroquoian village (BgFn-1), the assemblage of stone tools is very small. The Iroquoians at Droulers produced scrapers, arrowheads, drills, whetstones and manos, and also shaped tools with crystal quartz. Among the 3595 lithic objects, we find 18 tools and 1085 pieces of debitage in crystal quartz, which compose over 30% of the total lithic assemblage. Cristal quartz was worked during Québec prehistory, but never to this extent. This thesis is about the chaîne opératoire of crystal quartz and its uses throughout prehistory of Québec and among prehistoric Iroquoians.

Full textThis thesis focuses on a small group of St. Lawrence Iroquoians that lived in the Saint-Anicet region in the last centuries of the Late Woodland period. The results concern the village occupation at the Mailhot-Curran site (BgFn-2) and, specifically, a morpho-stylistic analysis of the pottery. Taking St. Lawrence Iroquoian cultural variability into account, we discuss the cultural position of this community within the broad interaction network which involved this cultural group. Our main goal is to determine the potters’ stylistic relationship according to the local, regional, interregional and international interaction scales, and to date the site. This study allows us to date the Mailhot-Curran site to the 16th century but, unlike the effervesce felt at the Mandeville site during the same period, the potters seem to have remained rather conservative in making their pottery. Furthermore, the Mailhot-Curran potters seem to have a relatively strong village identity. We also observe that a regional style characterizes the Saint-Anicet sites. Considering the diachronic character of Mailhot-Curran, Droulers and McDonald, our results support the idea that they form a coherent cultural ensemble which might suggest a continuous regional occupation by that group. Moreover, our study demonstrates that the Mailhot-Curran site belongs to the western province that includes the Prescott and Summerstown regions in Ontario, Montreal and Saint-Anicet in Quebec, and the northern Lake Champlain region to the southeast. On the other hand, Mailhot-Curran seems to lie on the periphery of the interaction network involving the Prescott and Summerstown regions located to the north of Lake St. Francis and seems to open up to other regions like Montreal and northern Lake Champlain. Otherwise, Mailhot-Curran’s potters are open to influences from the neighboring central province to the East.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the study of the macrobotanical remains from the Droulers village site inhabited during the second half of the XVth century by a St. Lawrence Iroquoian community. The main goal is to verify the practices of its inhabitants regarding the botanical contribution to their diet less than a century before the end of prehistory. Remains resulting from the practice of agriculture and gathering from wild are present in different contexts of the site. The analysis of these remains demonstrates the importance of these activites in the daily life of the inhabitants of the site. Thus, it is possible to validate the importance of maize among the subsistence strategies by means of ubiquity analysis of that species on the site. Maize is indeed the most common species throughout the different contexts studied. The presence of that species coupled with that of bean and squash demonstrates the practice of the Three sisters mound system at the Droulers site, a practice documented historically by the first European chroniclers. The remains of fruits and nuts are relatively well represented on the site, which suggests the importance of gathering in the diet of the Droulers inhabitants. The synchronic and diachronic comparative study of those macrobotanical remains with those found elsewhere in Iroquoia helps to better situate the degree of importance of the activities mentioned above at the Droulers site in relation to that of other sites whether older, contemporary or younger. The majority of the fruits present on the site where also gathered by the Glen Meyer and Princess Point proto-iroquoians and by other iroquoian groups (prehistoric and historic). The degree of utilization of the wild fruits at the Droulers site is in continuity with that of older and younger related groups. The utilization of cultigens and nuts at the Droulers site is similar to that of other Iroquoian groups.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of the nature and extent of landscape changes by the Iroquoians of the St. Lawrence in the Laurentian Valley in the sixteenth century. As a "living organism" (Homo sapiens), this related cultural group, which occupied a vast territory between the mouth of the Great Lakes and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, was a large resource catchment area and created niches to ensure its reproduction. We are particularly interested in the « footprint » that these niches made to leave on their environment by specifically taking the landscape as a scale of study. We sought to assess the importance or extent of this "transformation". Since it is impossible to "see" these landscapes of the past, we have tried to describe them using descriptions of early explorers, missionaries, adventurers, administrators and European colonizers, on the one hand, and more recent paleoecological and archaeological studies, on the other hand. The approach adopted is that of multidisciplinarity. Protohistorical studies on landscape are relatively infrequent in plant ecology and in the disciplines of planning, we will rely primarily on a literature review in the fields of ethnology, ethnohistory, history, comparative ethnology, geography, ecology, agronomy, palynology, the study of fossil charcoal, archeology and landscape archeology, considering certain landscapes as a realized niche construction. In the end, more of 400 texts were consulted, of which 160 were cited in this master thesis. Illustrations by Samuel de Champlain, explorer and cartographer, on the east coast of New England, and those of the St. Lawrence Valley were studied to determine both their value as "truth" and their value as "knowledge" and thus allow us to "see" the anthropic landscapes of these territories. One of the most effective tools for clearing large part of forests to open up the landscape and allow, among other things, the cultivation of the land is the use of fire. We have identified a number of observations along these lines in northeastern America, but not strictly in the St. Lawrence Valley. The niche created by the Iroquoians of the St. Lawrence was to constitute one or more mosaic-type landscapes. That is, large areas of dense forest could alternate with "park" type forests. The historical sources retained in our memory tend to confirm this type of landscape in certain parts of the Laurentian valley and around the Great Lakes. As part of this master thesis, we are looking to know if the use of fires controlled by Aboriginals for the creation of a niche or for the maintenance of the niche created could be used in the management of natural environments by taking for example the speckled alder (Alnus incana ssp. rugosa) overgrowth in marsh of Lake Saint-François National Wildlife Area.
