Iroquoian Village

Located at Crawford Lake which is not far from yesterdays blip. Connected by a walking trail.
On the edge of the meromictic lake [meromictic - the lake’s basin is deeper than it’s surface area, the lowest levels of water are very rarely, if ever, disturbed by wind or temperature changes]. Without an annual turnover of water, there is little oxygen present in its depths and minimal bacterial breakdown, which preserves the layers of sediment that have built up over time.

This build up provides an accurate record of the human and natural history of the lake and its surroundings. Studies of this sediment revealed the agricultural history of the Iroquoian people.
Between 1973 and 1987, excavations on the edge of the lake uncovered 11 Iroquoian longhouses from the 15th century as well as various artefacts of the settlers day-to-day lives. Three of these longhouses have been reconstructed on the exact footprints of the archaeological findings. Others are also in part construction.

Another wonderful and peaceful place to spend some time exploring and just escaping from the modern world.
