The Plateau Mont-Royal and Rosemont are known for their greystone quarries used for numerous 19th-century buildings in Montreal. But there exists another, less known quarry at the foot of the mountain, worked by First Nations in prehistoric times. This unique quarry is one of many archaeological sites on and around the mountain. The talk will present a summary of these fascinating discoveries.
