Year: 1980

Summary

This report is a Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties Archeological Site Survey, Basic Data Report for the site W-T, CH-K12, 18CH159. This site lies on the north bank of the Potomac River, on the south end of Cedar Point Neck, about 450m northwest of Upper Cedar Point at the edge of a marsh.

Wilke and Thompson reported the location of this site, but no information associated with it. Geo-Recon found a small prehistoric lithic scatter here in 1980, consisting of quartz and quartzite flakes and chunks, and occasional biface fragments. They speculated that this site might be considered continuous with 18CH158, 160, and 161.
