ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY, NUN'S ISLAND (QUEBEC)

SUMMARY:

This project consists of an archaeological intervention on Nun's Island in the context of a larger project: a New Bridge over the St Lawrence River. The area concerned by the present commission is located just north of the Champlain Bridge where significant known and inferred archaeological resources exist, among which the LeBer site (BiFj-1, hereinafter 'Site LeBer') and a paleohistoric site where a burial was found (BiFj-49), and where a large area potentially holds archaeological resources that remain unknown to this date.

Given the known and inferred archaeological resources, Infrastructure Canada wishes to conduct archaeological interventions to release the area of any archaeological constraint in a zone possibly affected by construction work.

OPTIONAL SITE VISIT:

It is recommended that the Bidder or a representative of the Bidder visit the work site. Arrangements have been made for a tour of the work site. The site visit will be held on May 13, 2014 at 13h30.
