History and architectural features
This archaeological site underwent excavation between 1931 and 1932 and again in 1971 by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. The excavations identified the presence of a substantial, fortified Susquehannock Indian village and cemetery from the Late Woodland/Protohistoric period. Settlement of the area occurred from the Late Archaic period through roughly 1650.[2]
