Dedic Site

The Dedic Site is an archaeological location in Deerfield where researchers have found layers of materials from prehistoric times. Dig work has uncovered objects and structures that show how people settled and lived here thousands of years ago.

The site shows human settlement stretching back thousands of years in the Connecticut River Valley region. The layered deposits help establish when different groups lived here and used the land.

The site tells the story of how Native American people lived and used this land over many centuries. The objects left behind show what they ate, made, and valued in their daily lives.

This is a working research site mainly used for study and scientific investigation, so access is limited to researchers and authorized visitors. A permit from relevant authorities is usually needed to visit or conduct work here.

The clear layering of deposits here makes it possible to identify exactly when different groups were living on the land. This precision helps scientists build a clearer timeline of native occupation across many centuries.
