Human activity in the area dates back at least 8,300 years. The oldest evidence for this is a burial mound of a
Maritime Archaic boy. His body was wrapped in a shroud of bark or hide and placed face down with his head pointed to the west. A sign at the site describes the significance of the burial mound and reproductions of artifacts found there are located at the Labrador Straits Museum in
L'Anse au Loup, Labrador. The burial mound site was designated a
National Historic Site of Canada in 1978. File:LAnseAmourNHSC.jpg|The prehistoric burial mound at L'Anse Amour lost on 8 August 1922 File:Point Amour Lighthouse.JPG|
