Abstract

Two University of Southern Maine researchers, archaeologist Nathan Hamilton and geographer Matthew Bampton, hope to use information gathered this summer at an archaeological excavation in Phippsburg to help them understand human use of the Maine environment all the way back to the last glaciation period. The dig, on the shores of a rich marine basin where the New Meadows River empties into the ocean, showed that prehistoric people ate an abundant amount of shellfish and were proficient at making stone tools.
