Nauset Archeological District
Nauset Archeological District, Archaeological site in Eastham, United States.
The Nauset Archaeological District contains multiple locations of Native American settlements spreading across the eastern shores of Cape Cod National Seashore.
French explorer Samuel de Champlain documented the first European observations of this area in 1605, noting numerous wigwams and agricultural fields of the Nauset tribe.
Archaeological evidence reveals that Native Americans cultivated corn, beans, squash, and tobacco, while creating clothing from grasses, hemp, and animal skins.
Visitors can access the archaeological district through the Fort Hill area of Cape Cod National Seashore, which features interpretive trails and educational displays.
The district contains preserved evidence of continuous human habitation dating back to 4,000 BC, including fishing weirs made from saplings and grass rope.
