Archaeology Lecture: labor, leisure and smoking

Archaeology Lecture: labor, leisure and smoking

Boise’s name comes from French Canadian fur traders and voyageurs who passed through the region in the early 19th century.

Drawing on more than 35 years as a professional archaeologist, Professor Dr. Rob Mann (BSU) examines the lives of these voyageurs during the North American fur trade, focusing on their labor, leisure, and especially their distinctive tobacco smoking traditions as revealed through archaeology.
