Inscription

Prehistoric hunters and gatherers traveled this land more than 10,000 years ago and later Native Americans settled here about A.D. 800. From evidence recovered by the Archaeological Society of Virginia in 1977, it appears that Indians camped at the site intermittently for about 8,000 years. When the site saw its final use by the Indians is uncertain, possibly as late as A.D. 1600.
