Tudek Site

The Tudek Site is an archaeological location in State College, Pennsylvania, where people in prehistoric times extracted stone for making tools and other objects. Evidence at this spot shows how ancient communities gathered raw materials and worked with stone to create what they needed.

The location was discovered during archaeological surveys in 1978 and named after graduate student Bob Tudek who worked there. Digging at the site revealed that people were active in this area between 8000 and 3500 BC.

Native American groups used this quarry site to extract stone materials before transporting them to the nearby Houserville Site for tool production.

This location is in a research area that is open to visitors with scholarly interest. Plan your visit ahead of time since the site is protected as a historic place with specific access guidelines.

Excavations uncovered an unusually high concentration of stone artifacts, indicating intensive use as a quarry site. This density of finds sets this place apart from other prehistoric locations in the region.
