Among the remains dating from the 19the century, there is a multitude of objects such as richly decorated crockery, leather scraps and objects used in shoemaking. There are also bones of ox, pig, sheep and instruments of butchery. The quality of the objects found evokes the possibility of a certain wealth of the people who lived on the site. “We think that the people who lived there had a high social status,” says Martin Perron, archaeologist at Hydro-Québec.
