Sommerheim Park Archaeological District
Sommerheim Park Archaeological District, Archaeological district in Millcreek Township, Erie County, United States.
The district contains six archaeological sites along Lake Erie's shoreline, featuring dense woods and former farmlands across an extensive undeveloped area.
Archaeological excavations in the district revealed artifacts from the Archaic period between 8000 BCE and 1000 BCE, including stone tools and house remnants.
The sites demonstrate patterns of Native American settlements, providing information about fishing and hunting activities during seasonal occupations along Lake Erie.
Students from Gannon University conduct field research at the site, offering opportunities for hands-on learning about archaeological methods and discoveries.
This district stands as the only Native American settlement site listed on the National Register of Historic Places northwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
