History

Excavation of three overlapping palisaded villages at this site has provided data about settlement patterns of the French Creek Valley. Artifacts left by the peoples living here from 1100 AD to 1500 AD indicate a subsistence based on seasonal hunting, gathering, and light farming. Shell-tempered pottery with a distinctive design known as McFate Incised has helped identify tribal movement across the landscape and potential trade routes.
