So a few years ago while talking to good friend and fellow guide, Ken Pavol, he mentioned an archeological dig next to the North Branch of the Potomac River near the private take out for our Buffet Float. As I took clients out on trips over the past few years, I witnessed from a far, the activity that has gone on around the Barton Archeological site in Western, MD.
Archeologists have been finding artifacts that date back to the Paleolithic Indian period (10,000-7,000 B.C.). I wonder how things looked back then. How did the people here use the river? What did the water look like. What kind of fish were here. It’s amazing. You can find more information at the link below. Enjoy!
