Little League Baseball Field site
In the summer of 2016 CAP worked at the prehistoric Little League Baseball Field site in Pennsylvania. Participants joined professional archaeologists in ongoing research and archaeological investigations at the site, located along the Susquehanna River near its confluence with the Chemung River in Bradford County, PA (about 40 miles southwest of campus). The site has evidence for use during multiple time periods ranging from hunter-gatherer camps (c. 2500-1000 B.C.) to an agricultural community (c. A.D. 1000-1300). Excavations discovered a diversity of lithics (projectile points, tools, rough stone, fire-cracked rock) and pottery. Based on the data and research potential, the site has been declared eligible for the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
