Description
The Pointe-aux-Vieux archaeological site represents the material remains of an Acadian house that was constructed, occupied, and vacated between 1728 and 1758. The house, located on provincial crown land in Lot 13, once formed part of a coastal settlement on southwestern Malpeque Bay, the first non-Aboriginal settlement in western Prince Edward Island. The first part of this article (The Island Magazine, #77) introduced the archaeological site and its history; here we pick up where we left off, taking a look at the house, its contents, and the people who lived there.
