Powder Mills Archaeological Project – Site Survey and Artefacts Cataloguing

OHF has been involved in the project of Powder Mills/ Moulin a Poudre at Pamplemousses since 2020, though the project itself started since 2015 by University of Mauritius. The team supported the archaeologist in further survey of the site extending the known boundaries and inventoried all the artefacts.

The Moulin a Poudre is a gun powder production site of the 18th Century, and seems to be unique among French colonies.
