Archaeology
In 1988, archaeological testing was conducted at the site of the former home of Molly Brant in Kingston, Ontario in preparation for a construction project. Salvage excavations were carried out in 1989. Much of the original site of the Brant homestead had been disturbed by industrial activities.
The area had been the location of the Kiwanis Playing Field, and was not disturbed until Imperial Oil bought the property in 1938. At this time, the below-ground remains of the structures were likely removed. Excavations revealed the remains of a privy, which contained over 5,000 artifacts of domestic and personal items from the 19th century.
