Aurora Site, Wendat Ancestral Village, Archaeological site near Aurora, Canada.

The Aurora Site is an archaeological location in Ontario that preserves remains of a Wendat settlement from the period before European contact. Excavations have uncovered longhouses, defensive structures, storage pits, and numerous objects that document the daily life of this community.

The community arrived around 1625, likely moving en masse from the Mantle Site nine kilometres to the south-east. The village covered 3.4 hectares and was fortified with multiple rows of palisades. It was occupied at the same time as the nearby Ratcliff Site. The Rouge River trail, later used by the French, ran through the site.

The Rouge River trail crossed the site, linking Lake Ontario with Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay; the Wendat used it first and the French later followed the same route. The village stood at the south-east corner of Kennedy Road and Vandorf Side Road, east of Vandorf, and was occupied at the same time as the nearby Ratcliff Site.

The site lies at the south-east corner of Kennedy Road and Vandorf Side Road, east of the hamlet of Vandorf in Whitchurch–Stouffville, about 30 km north of Toronto. It is reached by local roads; no year-round staff are on site. The ground is uneven, so dry weather is best.

The longhouses at this location were remarkably large and could house multiple families under a single roof, revealing tight communal living. This building style was typical for the Wendat and stood out from the scattered dwellings of other peoples in the region.
