Dr. Singer, and archaeologists from Anne Arundel County and the Lost Towns Project will be on hand to share how you can get involved in local archaeological excavations.

The Maryland Fluted Point Survey (MDFPS), first formalized in the late 1960s by Tyler Bastian, Maryland’s first State Archaeologist, was relaunched in 2020 to compile data on the distinctive projectile points created by the early Native Americans known to archaeologists as Paleoindians. This data will be synthesized to study the lifeways of the Paleoindians who lived in Maryland during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene between 13,000 and 10,000 years ago.
