Abstract
In 1991–2002 the first full archaeological excavations were conducted on the Seminary of Québec site. Numerous studies, based mainly on historical sources, had previously established the sequence of major events and physical developments relating to it. Louis Hébert, traditionally regarded as the country's first settler, took possession of the site in 1617; structural, artefactual and environmental evidence was found relating to the Hébert-Couillard period which preceded the foundation of the seminary in 1663. Neither the houses of Guillaume Couillard and Louis Hébert nor the Petit Séminaire erected by Mgr de Laval were situated where previously thought.
