Houserville Site, Archaeological site near State College, Pennsylvania.
The Houserville Site extends across 1.1 acres on a knoll above Slab Cabin Run, containing extensive evidence of prehistoric stone tool manufacturing.
Native American groups utilized this location between 8000 and 3500 BC as a workshop for processing Baldwin Eagle Jasper obtained from nearby quarries.
Archaeological excavations in 1979 revealed hundreds of lithic flakes, projectile points, scrapers, and drills, showing the manufacturing skills of early inhabitants.
The site maintains its research value through preserved soil layers and artifact distributions that continue to provide data about prehistoric tool production methods.
Analysis of stone materials at Houserville Site demonstrates connections to regional trade networks through the distribution of locally sourced Baldwin Eagle Jasper.
