Montreal and the Droulers archaeological site - Student Trips | Omnitour

A visit as exciting as it is unmissable

Around 1450, some 500 St. Lawrence Iroquoians settled along the La Guerre River, in the current municipality of Saint-Anicet. Five centuries later, farmer François Droulers discovered a small ax in a field... Since then, archaeological excavations have brought to light the remains and artifacts (approximately 500,000!) of the most important Iroquoian village ever discovered in Quebec.
