A palisaded Susquehannock village near Lemoyne dated to the early 1600s was uncovered by archaeological excavations in the early 2000s. Fragments of iron, brass, and glass beads indicated contact between the Susquehannock and Dutch traders and the English settlement of Jamestown, Va., between 1610 and 1624. Research at the site has enhanced understanding of this Native American nation, including its settlement patterns and the internal organization of its villages.
