Abstract

Archaeological investigations on the Intendant's Palace site in the 1980s determined the site's physical evolution and the activities pursued there since 1668. In 2006, the City of Québec and Université Laval launched another field study, which uncovered evidence not only of a prehistoric presence, but also previously unknown historic occupation pre-dating Jean Talon's brewery and possibly associated with a shipyard established by Talon next to the Saint-Charles River around 1666.

In 2006, the City of Québec and Université Laval launched another field study, which uncovered evidence not only of a prehistoric presence, but also previously unknown historic occupation pre-dating Jean Talon's brewery and possibly associated with a shipyard established by Talon next to the Saint-Charles River around 1666.

Les recherches archéologiques sur le site du Palais de l'intendant dans les années 1980 ont déterminé l'évolution physique du site et les activités qui s'y sont menées depuis 1668. En 2006, la Ville de Québec et l'Université Laval ont lancé une autre campagne de recherches, qui ont permis la mise au jour d'indices non seulement d'une présence préhistorique, mais aussi d'une occupation historique jusqu'alors inconnue, pré-datant la brasserie de Jean Talon et probablement associée à un chantier naval établi par Talon près de la rivière Saint-Charles vers 1666.

Archäologische Untersuchungen des Intendantenpalastes in den 80er Jahren zeigten die physische Entwicklung und den Verlauf seiner Aktivitäten seit 1668. Im Jahre 2006 begannen die Stadt Quebec und die Universität Laval eine neue Feldstudie, die nicht nur prähistorische Zeugnisse lieferte, sondern auch Hinweise auf bisher unbekannte historische Nutzung, die vor der Zeit von Jean Talons Brauerei liegen, und möglicherweise mit einer ungefähr um 1666 von Talon errichteten Werft am Saint Charles-Fluß zusammenhängen.

Gli scavi archeologici condotti nel sito del Palazzo di Intendenza negli anni Ottanta del secolo scorso hanno accertato l'evoluzione fisica del sito e le attività lì condotte dal 1668. Nel 2006 la città di Quebec e l'Università Laval hanno dato il via a un altro studio sul campo, che ha portato alla luce testimonianze non solo di un insediamento preistorico, ma anche di un'occupazione di periodo storico, fino a quel momento sconosciuta, anteriore alla birreria di Jean Talon e possibilmente associata a un cantiere navale fondato da Talon nei pressi del fiume Saint-Charles intorno al 1666.

Diversas campañas arqueológicas en el Palacio del Intendente en la década de los 80 determinaron la evolución física del yacimiento y las actividades allí desarrolladas desde 1668. En el 2006 la ciudad de Quebec y la universidad Laval iniciaron otro estudio de campo por el que se ha descubierto no sólo evidencia de presencia prehistórica, sino también un yacimiento histórico desconocido con anterioridad y que es anterior a la fábrica de cerveza de Jean Talon, estando posiblemente asociado con el astillero fundado por Talon junto al río Saint-Charles hacia 1666.
