The Delfosse-Allard site is a campsite and village on the southern terrace of the Niagara Escarpment overlooking the Red River that was occupied intermittently from about 4000 B.C. to A.D. 1700. First identified in 1906, with additional investigations in the late 1970s, the site yielded evidence from Archaic, Late Woodland, and Historic Indian cultural developments and time periods. Archaeological investigations beginning in 1993 and continuing periodically until the fall of 2003 uncovered prehistoric and historic storage pits, houses, fireplaces, and 8,851 artifacts. The Archaic component produced items suggesting use of the site as a hunting and gathering camp, recovered from a depth of 50-60 cm below the existing ground surface. Late Woodland groups may have chosen the location for protection from the sometimes severe winter weather of the Door Peninsula. A trade bead indicates that Historic Period Indians were living there, and corn from the site was radiocarbon dated to the Middle Historic Period, A.D. 1670-1760.
