Inscription
Nearly 13,000 years old, this location, near the confluence of the Delaware River and Brodhead Creek, is one of the earliest dated Native American sites in the northeastern US. Archaeological investigations uncovered hundreds of stone tools left by the early inhabitants around a series of campfires.
Remains of fish and fruit provided evidence of a more diverse diet than expected for the late Ice Age.
