"This film demonstrates a new style of excavation used for archaeological work at the Draper site north of Toronto where there are remains of a large Huron village. With financial support from Transport Canada and the Archaeological Surveys of Canada, all the findings were fed into a computer, resulting in far more comprehensive information than would have been the case under the old system."

"Ce film, d'un grand intérêt historique, raconte une expérience de sauvetage archéologique sur le site de la ferme Draper, près de Pickering en Ontario. Tout un long travail d'équipe impliquant relevés cartographiques, analyses, et fouilles sur le terrain, vise à mettre à jour l'existence passée d'un village huron."
