Tea and History Speaker Series - 407 Archeological Excavation
Come join the Whitby Historical Society for a presentation by guest speaker, Robb Bhardwaj, Associate Archeologist at ASI to learn more about a fascinating discovery during the construction of the 407.
The Joseph Picard site was the first ever large-scale excavation of a Huron-Wendat village in Whitby. Over the course of many seasons, the excavations revealed a large Huron-Wendat village dating to the early 1400's, and consisted of ten long houses, three midden areas (domestic refuse sites) and over 120,000 artifacts such as wooden beads, spearheads, and pottery. It is thought that approximately 150-200 people lived on the Joseph Picard site over the course of 10-15 years.
Admission is by donation. Seating is limited so please pre-register.
