The Grondines archaeological digs were supported by the “Persepective-Jeunesse” program. From 1971 onwards, many young people from the village were involved, including Hélène Trottier and Marcel Laganière. In order to excavate the soil, lopping had to be carried out. Roots impeding the search for artifacts had to be cut.
