Mapping project winding down

Archaeologist says site mapping project is winding down: 9/ 23/ 2003

From the Standard-Times:

WESTPORT -- A Rhode Island archaeologist is putting out a last call for all arrowheads, primitive pottery and stone formations sitting in area back yards.

The four-month project, intended to map artifact-rich sites and to inventory primitive tools, is nearly over, said Holly Herbster, project leader and archaeologist with Pawtucket's Public Archaeology Laboratory.

She will accept artifacts and site tips for the next month, she said.

Westport turned out to be filled with artifacts -- especially near bodies of water -- with some residents boasting vast personal collections, she said.

Stone tools, hammers, axes and pottery ranging from 8,000 years old through the 16th century litter Westport, she said.
