Southern Maryland, 2000 BC

A Maryland Archaeology Program with Dr. James Gibb

This illustrated talk examines what we have learned about Southern Maryland from the vantage of Mattawoman Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River between Charles and Prince George's County.

For more than a century, archaeologists have explored a poorly understood period in the Chesapeake region's past, an era for which neither oral history nor written chronicles survive.  Only those discarded items of everyday life that have survived decomposition over the millennia (mostly stone tools and the waste created in their manufacture) survive.  With these items, archaeologists can test ideas about how we think Native Americans lived and how they interacted with their environs.
