Gary Warrick holds a B.A. in Anthropology from McMaster University, an M.A. in Archaeology from Simon Fraser University, and a Ph.D. in Anthropology from McGill University. From 1989 to 1999 he worked for the Ministry of Transportation for the province of Ontario and was a lecturer at the University of Toronto at Mississauga from 1997 to 1999. Currently, Warrick is Associate Professor at the Brantford Campus of Wilfred Laurier University. He has been published in various journals, including Ontario Archaeology, the Canadian Journal of Archaeology, Current Anthropology, World Archaeology, and Journal of World Prehistory. He was also featured in The Ethics of Archaeology (Cambridge University Press, 2006).

Life and death; 8. Sociopolitics, trade, and warfare; 9. Wendat-Tionontaté history; Part III. Pre-Industrial Demography: 1. Theories of population change; 2. Culture history and population change; 3.

Artifacts and food remains; 6. Burials; 7. Settlement remains; Part V. Estimating Wendat-Tionontaté Population: 1. Seventeenth-century observations; 2. Iroquoian population research; 3. Estimating Wendat-Tionontaté population change from archaeological data; 4. Site data; 5. Identification of village sites; 6. Representativeness of site sample; 7. Site dating; 8.

Relative Wendat-Tionontaté population estimates; 15. Absolute Wendat-Tionontaté population estimates; Part VI. Pre-Contact Population of the Wendat-Tionontaté: 1. Wendat origins; 2. Middle woodland baseline; 3. Adoption of maize agriculture; 4. Early Iroquoian population growth; 5. Uren colonization; 6. Middleport population explosion; 7. Late pre-contact population nucleation and sociopolitical change; Part VII. Wendat-Tionontaté Depopulation: 1. Sixteenth-century Wendat-Tionontaté population; 2. Seventeenth-century Wendat-Tionontaté population; Conclusions.

“Gary Warrick’s population history of the Wendat-Tiononataté (Huron-Petun) is a must read for all scholars of Native American demographic history. His historiographic analysis of population numbers combined with a critical archaeological assessment of prehistoric population estimates make for a compelling argument that, although devastating, infectious diseases were a late introduction to the region. Disease outbreaks postdated indirect contact by nearly 100 years and direct contact by at least 20 years.” -Anne F. Ramenofsky, University of New Mexico
