Anne Arundel Site May Have Oldest Structure in Maryland

Digging for Evidence of Maryland's Indian Heritage:

"...Unusual sandy soil at Pig Point has preserved tools that usually would be lost after centuries in the ground, including an arrowhead carved from deer antler, deer-bone needles and awls. There are plant remains, including carbonized nuts and seeds that provide a rare look at the broad spectrum of the Native American diet of the period.

...The county's archaeologists were alerted to the Pig Point site last year... A contractor doing unrelated work on the property showed an interest in the archaeology and mentioned that he had found Indian artifacts for years on his property at Bristol Landing.

The contractor, who asked not to be named or quoted directly, said he'd found many arrowheads and much broken pottery. He knew it should be excavated by professionals and finally persuaded Luckenbach to take a look. "
