We discovered an colonial era Indian camp in Peabody Massachusetts, years back while digging bottles.

The last thing one wants to do when encountering such a find is contact any government mechanism.

At least until you are done and gone from the site.

No one knows about that site to this day, except me and Bo.

We took several broken points and a wood hook.

It was a trash heap of oyster shells 6 foot deep covering a hundred square yards. It was three feet down, so we considered it colonial era.

Shell middens have been found all along the east coast. It could represent the spot where for many years (centuries?) an Indian tribe made their winter camp. Cool find.
