  The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History welcomes archaeologist, 
Craig S. Chartier.  Craig has been active in New England archaeology 
for over 20 years and in his lecture on April 9th he will be updating 
his field work at the Taylor-Bray Farm in Yarmouth Port from last fall.

"We have identified several small artifact concentrations that appear 
to be attributable to the Small Stemmed and Atlantic Traditions of 
the Transitional Archaic period. We also found one more post hole for 
what appears to be a possible Late to Transitional Archaic round 
house. The interpretation thus far is that small groups of people 
were occupying the terrace overlooking Chase Garden Creek for a few 
just a few days.  They appear to have been doing some hunting for 
birds, deer, and turtles, and were processing some resource through 
the use of stone boiling technology. What is really special about 
these sites is that they are each relatively discreet and so they 
give us a good snapshot of maybe just a few hours or a day or so 
spent at the creek."
