Our recent research has been able to
better understand Woodland period lifestyles in the
Chesapeake Bay region. A piece of woven 2,300 year-old fabric was found
attached to a piece of copper-stained human bone from the
Frederica site (7K-F-2). Isotopic analysis of the bone from this site shows
that the people buried in this prehistoric cemetery were
eating marine and estuarine fish and shellfish.
