On Wikipedia

  • Blackrock Springs Site: archaeological site in Virginia, United States

    Found during a park survey in the early 1970s, this site near Blackrock Springs was used for an unusually long time, from before 7000 BC until after 1000 BC, most heavily in the middle to late Archaic period. Nearly all of its roughly three thousand artifacts are local quartzite, and investigators concluded that people from the Shenandoah Valley and the Piedmont used it as a base camp for occasional hunting and gathering. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
