Site History

The Wades North site (18BA90) is a Woodland village or base camp located on the Patapsco River near Landsdowne in Baltimore County, Maryland.

Archaeological Investigations

This site was initially identified in the late 19th century by Talbot D. Jones, an insurance underwriter who was also an active avocational archaeologist. Jones's collection and field notes were donated to Johns Hopkins University and were analyzed in 1980 by the Maryland Geological Survey Division of Archeology. A total of 116 artifacts is listed in Jones's collection from 18BA90, which is curated at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Lab.

Artifacts collected by Jones included a knife, spear, axes, a bannerstone, mortar and a rubbing stone. He also noted pottery and projectile points. Jones also noted that the site had been collected by avocational archaeologists for many years.
