In the late 1980s, there arose an opportunity to address
the lack of published data on the Parsons site, when a proposed watermain route
threatened the site. In order to mitigate the impacts that the project would cause,
Archaeological Services Inc. was retained by The Metropolitan Works Department,
Engineering Division to conduct excavations. This report constitutes the final account
of the Parsons research. See a summary of the importance of this Iroquoian village,
written by Lanna Crucefix, a previous field archaeologist interested in
Public Archaeology.
