Neville archaeological site

Archaeological sites in New HampshireArchaic period in North AmericaManchester, New Hampshire

Neville is an archaeological site on the east bank of the Merrimack River in Manchester, New Hampshire in the United States. The first occupants arrived during the Middle Archaic [around 8000 years Before Present (BP)] and left around 5900 BP. The first occupation, termed the Neville Complex, houses the remains of the "Neville" stemmed points. These were "bifacial projectile points with carefully shaped tips and symmetrical bodies." The Neville site is 205 feet (62 m) above sea level and close to the Amoskeag Falls. Because the river provided an almost endless supply of fish, the site's location was probably important in attracting the first foragers to camp at the site. Dena Dincauze argues that Neville is a center for spring fishing and domestic activities but not hunting and plant processing. This is evidenced by the lack of hunting and plant processing tools. The tools and points types found and named for the Neville site are believed to be a northeastern variant of Stanly stemmed points, a point type related to older Archaic sites in the southeastern United States. Neville points were produced between 7800 BP and 7000 BP and are found from Maine to New York. The Neville site shows that Middle Archaic people of the Northeastern United States had relationships with cultures along the Atlantic coast and those even further to the south. Before 7000 BP, a new projectile point form had appeared.
