Summary
This is a poster submission presented at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
During a preliminary survey for a development project along the St. Croix River in Southwestern New Brunswick a historic foundation of unknown significance was identified and registered as an archaeological site. The St. Croix River is the location of Saint Croix Island, which is an International historic site, and known as the location of an early attempt at year-round colonization by the French in North America. During the 2022 field season two 1x1 meter excavation units were excavated in order to establish the significance of the foundation and in order to assist in future protection and management of the site. This poster will present the findings of the 2022 excavations.
