Site History
The Heise 9 site (18BA204) is an Early and Late Archaic short-term camp. The site is located in Baltimore County, Maryland on the North Branch of the Patapsco River.
Archaeological Investigations
Non-systematic surface surveys of the site were conducted by avocational archaeologist David Heise between 1981 and 1999. There is no report on these findings, but Heise reported the site to the Maryland Geological Survey in 1981 and a site form was completed. Artifacts from the site were donated to the Maryland Historical Trust by Heise in 2012 and they are curated at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Lab. Lithics included the following point types: Bare Island and Kirk Corner-Notched. Also collected were a quartz hammerstone, a stemmed rhyolite point, a fragmentary red jasper point, a broke quartz point, and quartz and rhyolite flakes.
