The Hammerstone Project was named to reflect the significant archaeological resource discovered in September 2003. During initial fieldwork, ancient quarries, workshops and campsites dating from 9,500 – 7,500 years ago were discovered. This find is one of the oldest known sites in the province and reflects the history of human settlement in the region. This site is now known as the Quarry of the Ancestors and is a protected site.
