Archaeologists working at a future skating rink site near Montreal have unearthed prehistoric artifacts etched by Indigenous peoples dating from approximately 6,150 to 8,200 years ago. The discovery, made during routine excavations, underscores the rich historical layers hidden beneath modern development plans, hinting at further untold cultural narratives.
L’automne dernier, alors que l’archéologue Yves Chrétien supervisait une équipe qui creusait sur le site d’une future patinoire de hockey au nord-est de Montréal, une mini excavatrice a déterré des morceaux de pierre taillée.
