Valérie, guide for enthusiasts, aged 5 to 110

If you know little about archaeology and the origins of settlement in Quebec and want to learn more, you are in the right place!

Let me introduce myself, Valérie Roy, facilitator at the Sherbrooke Museum of Nature and Science. There are several ways to learn. I always find it's better when having fun. To discover archaeology or the history of the first humans to arrive in Quebec and their living conditions, I have various activities to propose.

  • Make your choice

  • Excavation square

    Learn the basics of digging on site.

  • Children playing in the sand in an excavation square

  • Puzzle

    Put the fragments of a biface together in a puzzle challenge.

  • Visitors touch an artifact positioned on an exhibition plaque

  • Making a tool

    Cut a virtual biface.

  • The hands of someone hammering two pieces of a tool together

  • Building a shelter

    Build a shelter out of caribou skin.  

  • Part of a caribou-skin shelter located next to an exhibition plaque

  • Anachronisms challenge

    Identify the artifacts that do not fit with the others.

  • Someone pointing at an exhibition plaque. A man is in the background.

  • History book

    Browse the history book on the origins of settlement in Quebec.
