The forced migration of French colonists from Placentia, Newfoundland, to what would become the Fortress of Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, following the Treaty of Utrecht connects the two sites historically. To investigate this link, isotopic analyses involving carbon (δ¹³CVPDB), nitrogen (δ¹⁵NAIR), and s...
