Mead Island Tradition
Inscription
Near this location the Mead Island culture was first identified In 1967 by Carnegie Museum Archaeologist Dr. Stanley Lantz on Mead Island. Further excavations of this prehistoric Native American group nearby at the nearby Penelec site and other locations between here and Freeport in Armstrong county verify that these people were the dominant residents of the Middle Allegheny River Valley during the early Late Woodland period (960-1360 AD).
