In September 2009, archaeologists discovered a 6,000 year old
Native American site while conducting a cultural resource assessment for
the Stony Brook Culvert Replacement Project in Brewster. The site
is located on an uplands parcel adjacent to the wetlands and the Cape Cod
Museum of Natural History. Dianna Doucette, Senior Archaeologist with the
Public Archaeology Laboratory, Inc. (PAL) will share what the PAL
archaeologists learned about the people who once inhabited the area near
Stony Brook, and the importance of Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966. <br><br>
<i>Dr. Doucette received her Ph.D. in Anthropology from Harvard
University, and her undergraduate degree at the University of New
Hampshire. Her research specializations include pre-contact Native
American occupation in the Northeast, with particular focus on settlement
and subsistence practices of Archaic Period hunter gatherer societies,
cultural landscapes, mortuary practices, gender studies, and
geoarchaeological methods. <br>
