Minisink Archaeological Site
Minisink Archaeological Site, Archaeological site in Monroe County, Pennsylvania
The Minisink Archaeological Site spans 1320 acres across Sussex County, New Jersey and Pike County, Pennsylvania, situated near the Delaware River and Brodhead Creek.
Native Americans inhabited this location approximately 10,000 years ago, leaving behind stone tools, fire pits, and evidence of early human settlements in the region.
Excavations revealed the presence of Munsee-speaking Lenape communities who established their primary settlement in this area during the 17th and 18th centuries.
The site underwent multiple research phases since 1900, with Temple University's Department of Anthropology currently conducting field studies and preservation efforts.
Scientists discovered two hearths in the Clovis layer, dated to 10,937 years Before Present, containing remnants of fish bones and fruit that indicated varied dietary patterns.
