Paleoindian site listed on National Register

RANDOLPH — The Potter Paleoindian Site on the east end of town in the Moose River Valley was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on Thursday, April 28, state archaeologist Mark Doperalski confirmed. “This site is an undisturbed, highly intact habitation that dates to approximately 12,500 to 12,000 years ago,” explains retired state archaeologist Richard “Dick” Boisvert of Deerfield, who led a number of “digs” there. “The Potter Site contains a series of intensively used workshop areas as well as household encampments,” he says. “The site was located on the landscape (by early nomadic peoples) so as to take advantage of plant and animal resources close by the areas of occupation and also strategically positioned so as to be able to see herds of caribou as they made their seasonal migrations. Caribou were hunted for their meat, hides and antlers, all essential to the Paleoindians’ survival.”
