The City of Quebec excavated the courtyard of the Quebec Seminary (general =
education, not just for educating priests=21), founded in 1666 and still be=
ing run as a private secondary and collegial school. The courtyard has been=
systematically cleaned since the late 19th Century, so as far as material =
culture goes, the occupation dates from 1666 to ca. 1875. The material cul=
ture analyst, madame Celine Cloutier, was able to document an increasing pr=
eoccupation for cleanliness through her analysis of disposal patterns. A lo=
t of very fragmentary ceramics, some shoe buckles and and many buttons. No =
toys.=20
The site also contains the home of Guillaume Couillard, (built ca. 1622 and=
destroyed ca. 1670) the second private residence in New France. (We found =
New France's first private residence under a parking lot on the other end o=
f the Seminary complex, but thats another story.) Reference as follows:
