Fort Ann Quarry Site

Summary

The Fort Ann Quarry Site was sampled in order to provide the laboratory crew with a range of Fort Ann chert samples. These were later used to classify raw materials found at Harrisena and other sites in the Lake George Project area. Fort Ann chert occurs at several locations in the eastern part of the Lake George Project area and unfortunately, more than one of these are locally referred to as "the Fort Ann Quarry" (additional information on these sites can be found in the Fort Ann Quarry Site Catalog Guide).
