Summary
This report is a Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties Archeological Site Survey, Basic Data Report for the site T16, 18CH228. This site is located on the east side of Cedar Point Neck, 200m west of the Potomac, and about 1.3 km north of Upper Cedar Point. The site is in a disced firebreak and is bisected by a road.
This prehistoric lithic scatter extends for some 2,000 feet along a facility access road. Prehistoric artifacts were discovered in disced firebreaks which parallel the road that has apparently bisected the zone of prehistoric occupation. Items encountered included quartz and quartzite debitage, bifaces, battered cobbles, and chunks. No diagnostic lithic or ceramic artifacts were observed.
