An Historical and Archaeological View of the Molly Brant Property

Susan M. Bazely; Earl Moorhead

Abstract

During the summer of 1988 the field investigation component of the 'Kingston Archaeological Master Plan Study' was carried out. A survey along the upper portion of the Great Cataraqui River shoreline, just south of Belle Island, revealed evidence of the final abode of the Mohawk Matriarch, Molly Brant. A review of this initial assessment under the terms of the Kingston Archaeological Master Plan Study will be presented.
