Adams County Paleo-Indian District
Adams County Paleo-Indian District, Archaeological site in Sandy Springs, United States.
The Adams County Paleo-Indian District consists of multiple prehistoric middens containing stone tools, gravers, scrapers, and projectile points near Salt Springs.
Native American hunters established camps at this location around 10,000 years ago, taking advantage of the salt springs to track and hunt migrating animals.
Over seventy fluted points, including Clovis and Gainey types, demonstrate the advanced tool-making capabilities of early North American inhabitants in this region.
The 175-acre archaeological district maintains private ownership status, requiring permission for research activities and professional excavation projects.
The geological combination of shale and limestone bedrock created natural migration routes, making this location a strategic hunting ground for Paleo-Indian communities.
