Since 1981, hundreds of students at François-Xavier College have been introduced to archaeological methods and techniques at an archaeological field school on the Parc des Moulins site, located in Charlesbourg. The site comprises the remains of five water mills built on the banks of the Duberger River, the earliest dating from the 18th century. On August 28th, student archaeologists will present the principal discoveries made on the archaeological site.
