The excavation of the La Coupe site in eastern New Brunswick / Norman F. Barka. : R61-2/7-30E-PDF

"In summary, although Webster's views concerning the function of the La Coupe site are suggestive, the archaeological testing of the site has provided little evidence to support his conjectures. Based on the archaeological evidence, the La Coupe site cannot be identified as to function or date - it cannot be called a dry dock nor can it be placed in time, as no artifacts (tools, pottery, glass, metal, etc.) were found. Only two conclusions based on archaeology can be put forth: 1. the La Coupe dykes are definitely man-made structures and not natural mud-clay heaps, as is evidence by the spruce tree matting, log braces, and stone pavements found within the dykes; 2. some kind of human activities took place within the area bounded by the dykes, as is evidenced by the pickets found in the north interior of the site"--Conclusions, page 22.
