In addition to its historic importance
Blennerhassett Island also contains
important prehistoric sites. Several
Indian villages exist on the Island,
and large collections of Indian artifacts have been found here. Largest
of the sites, a Fort Ancient village,
has now been washed away by the Ohio
River, but smaller ones still remain.
Artifacts found on the Island indicate
occupation dating from 10,000 years ago.
