The area my site is located in, Centennial Woods, has a very rich history. The oldest known evidence of human interaction at my site was that of Native Americans over four thousand years ago. An area in Centennial Woods contained evidence of Native American tool making, including stone flakes. This evidence was found by students in UVM’s archaeology program in 1998. From this point forward, the site was used by Native Americans up until the seventeenth century, when settlers from other countries came to settle the land. This marked the point where the Natives shared the land with the settlers, who eventually built the area up into the modern day Burlington we know.
