Discrepancies - dates, discovery edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Two discrepancies pop up for me:

the site was abandoned in 1543 per the article and supported by both Parks Canada references, but the article in French says it was abandoned in June 1542.
the site was declared a National Historic Site of Canada in 1923, but its discovery was announced in 2006 (per the article in English and in French)?

Can anyone help clarify? --papageno (talk) 02:49, 11 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

According to this master's thesis (p.4) , it was "known" (albeit unproven) since at least 1840 that Jacques Cartier had Fort Charlesbourg-Royal built, probably in the vicinity of the mouth of the Cap-Rouge river (which I guess is why the canadian governement decided to make it a National Historic Site). There had been a couple of archeological work in the 20th century but they remained unconclusive (p. 97). It was only in 2004-2006 that archeological findings proven that the site was occupied by French people in the 16th century, so they deducted that it could only have been Charlesbourg-Royal (p.98). Oddly, this thesis both refer as Charlesbourg Royal (1541-1542) and Charlesbourg Royal (1541-1543), but the former is only used 2 times and only in citations (incl. of the governement of Quebec..), while the author use herself 7 times the year 1543 - so I think the latter is a safer choice --Nonztp (talk) 14:28, 11 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
