This archaeological site is located on the west bank of the Métabetchouane River, on a point of land extending into Lac Saint-Jean.

This site includes the remains of a stone fireplace and the charred traces of a wooden and cob wall.

[1] This archaeological site of Métabetchouane was an important place of passage, meetings and Amerindian and Euro-Quebec settlements.

One of the particularly interesting occupations corresponds to some 250 years encompassing the end of indigenous prehistory and the start of the period of contact with individuals of European descent; it is a pivotal time when traditional lifestyles are confronted with French and English culture.

While the writings of the first explorers suggest that the site was once the scene of gatherings between indigenous groups engaged in trade, the small proportion of exotic objects accumulated during these two millennia on the site suggests that these interactions were more carried out on a regional scale.
