As early as the 1950s, New York archaeologists used the variability of glass beads to date Iroquoian sites. In Ontario, archaeologists developed a series of Glass Bead Periods (GBP) as a dating tool, which however had limited value in Québec. This article proposes a seriation of beads found along the coast from Tadoussac to northern Labrador, and identifies nine bead “complexes” that run from 1540 to 1890 approximately. This seriation may serve as a dating aid for other collections in Québec-Labrador. We also link bead types to their places of manufacture and their transatlantic “distribution networks”, revealing tendencies that future research may explore in more detail. Research for the seriation finally brings new information to the dating of Iroquoian sites in the Saint Lawrence estuary, and clarifies the multiple occupations of the major site at Red Bay, Labrador.
