Mount Jasper Lithic Source
Mount Jasper Lithic Source, Archaeological quarry site in Berlin, New Hampshire, US.
Mount Jasper Lithic Source spans 38.5 acres from the mountain summit to the Dead River, featuring exposed rhyolite deposits and ancient mining tunnels.
Native Americans extracted rhyolite from this location for approximately 9,000 years, creating tools and weapons that were distributed across northeastern United States.
The site contains multiple workshops where Indigenous people transformed raw rhyolite into sophisticated tools, demonstrating advanced manufacturing techniques of prehistoric communities.

This archaeological site contains rare evidence of Native American tunneling practices, with a mine shaft extending 30 feet into the mountain.
