The site contains an important record of more than 5000 years of prehistory, including Middle Archaic (c. 6000 BC) through Late Woodland (AD 1600) materials. Of particular note are a sizable Middle Woodland Selby Bay component, and a large Late Woodland component (c. AD 1550–1600) which may correspond to the village of Mattpament depicted on John Smith's 1608 map.^[2]
