More remains from the 18th-century Saint-Henri-des-Tanneries village were found this summer as construction was continuing on the site of the Turcot Interchange.

Quebec’s ministry of transport announced on Thursday archeologists have found the remains of five buildings from different eras on the old St-Jacques St. between the current St-Rémi St. and de Courcelles St.

Workers were digging the grounds on the site to make room for public utility equipment, such as pipelines and sewage connections, when they found what seemed to be another part of the village. Archeologists have been excavating the area since June and confirmed it is the continuation of the village.

The remains of the village were discovered thanks to a dig in the area throughout the summer of 2015. A 2008 study had found the area as a potential site for where the village used to be.

Sarah Bensadoun, a spokesperson for the transport ministry, said the ministry was aware there was an archeological potential to the area.
