General Note:
The Beothuk were Newfoundland's Algonkian-speaking, non-Micmac aboriginal occupants during the historic period. The Beothuk practice of recycling European iron items into traditional type tools is one of the fundamental criterion distinguishing them from their prehistoric ancestors. This guide summarizes our current understanding of the Beothuk iron industry" -- Introd.
