"In the summer of 1961, the Government of Canada announced plans for the reconstruction of a substantial portion of the Fortress of Louisbourg. This [first] paper describes the extensive archaeological program carried out to provide a basis for accurate reconstruction. ... [In the second paper] Edward McM. Larrabee (1970) described the archaeological research at the Fortress of Lousibourg which took place from 1961 to 1965. During that time, attention was concentrated on the King's Bastion, although there were several minor excavations in other locations of the fortress. One of these briefly mentioned by Larrabee is that of the author's salvage work on the Princess Half-bastion in 1964. This [second] paper describes that excavation and its results. ... [The third] study is an attempt to correlate the stratigraphic evidence obtained and the dating evidence suggested by clay pipe fragments recovered from the excavation of the King's Bastion and its casements"--p. 12, 46 and 58.
