Archeological Excavations at the Moore Village Site, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, National Historical Park, Allegany County, Maryland

摘要

The Historic Structure Report on the Moore Village site was discovered by Russell G. Handsman in 1976 during the course of a systematic archeological survey of the tract of land where the site is located. Handsman (1977) determined that the site represented a substantial, Late Prehistoric settlement of people having a culture similar to that of the Monongahela sites in the valleys and upland vicinities of the Upper Ohio River and its tributaries and at the Keyser Farm and the other Luray Focus sites located mostly along the Shenandoah River in Northern Virginia. It also appeared that the settlement was structurally similar to Monongahela villages. The faunal material was found to be concentrated at the margins site. This report is intended primarily as a description and interpretation of the Moore Village site.
