Redoubt

Told in the voice of a lone holdout standing guard on an unnamed frontier, Redoubt addresses questions of conception and birth, gender, war and the slouch toward Apocalypse. Structured like a series of jazz riffs, its thematic underpinnings are drawn in part from the dictionary definitions that introduce each section--back cover.

The 1965-66 excavations of the right redoubt and blockhouse at Fort Lennox National Park, Quebec are described in this report. The structural remains of the blockhouse and the features found in a test of the redoubt rampart and casemates are discussed. The archaeological features are correlated with historical plans and elevation drawings of the redoubt. The artificats, mostly from the debris of the later navy yard period (1813-34), are described and used to confirm the dating of the redoubt and blockhouse structures. The report provides data for comparative studies and may also serve as the basis for the planning of future excavations.
