Route 78 Project:  Headquarters Site
The University of Maine at Farmington Archaeology Research Center is conducting research at the Headquarters site, a very significant site that extends for over a mile along the bank of the Missisquoi River in Swanton, Vermont.  So far we have evidence that people lived at the site as early as 5500-3000 B.C. during what archaeologists call the Archaic period.
