Ancient artifacts on Cape Porpoise; link to video here

Arrowhead at the Brick Store Museum, in Kennebunk, Maine, in the show “Cape Porpoise: Archaeology in the Archipelago,’’ through April. This exhibit shows the collection of artifacts recently unearthed in Maine’s Cape Porpoise Archipelago. The artifacts were found on expeditions conducted by the Cape Porpoise Archaeological Alliance (CPAA). as part of a project to find and preserve ancient artifacts against the destructive coastline flooding caused by climate change. The CPAA has uncovered a wide variety of artifacts, showcasing 8,000 years of southern Maine's history, especially Indigenous objects such as stone tools. The highlight of the exhibit, however, is a dugout canoe found in 2018 and carefully excavated in 2019. According to carbon dating, this canoe was made between 1280—1380 C.E., making it the oldest dugout canoe ever found on Wabanaki lands.
