In 1987, archaeologists working on a number of waterfront lots in Fort Erie, Ontario, discovered bones that turned out to be the remains of soldiers who had died during the American occupation of Fort Erie 173 years before. They had uncovered a U.S. military graveyard from the War of 1812. The archaeological dig that followed attracted great public interest and media attention on both sides of the border. Historical research and scientific analysis of the bones combined to produce a remarkably detailed profile of anonymous victims in a half-forgotten conflict. The Snake Hill story culminated in a remarkable repatriation ceremony in which twenty-eight American soldiers were returned to their homeland for an honorary reburial.

The Snake Hill project was felt to have had significant impact on people's view of the importance of preserving our history through caring for locations that contain historical information. The author suggests that municipalities prepare polices that ensure that before the development starts, that archaeological concerns be addressed first so conflicts like Snake Hill are avoided.
