Heise #CR41 (18CR170)
Site History
The Heise #CR41 site (18CR170) is a Late Archaic-Woodland short-term resource procurement, and 18th-century artifact concentration. The site is located in Carroll County, Maryland near the Morgan Run Reservoir.
Archaeological Investigations
Non-systematic surface surveys of the site were conducted by avocational archaeologist David Heise. There is no report on these findings, but Heise reported the site to the Maryland Geological Survey in 1986 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 diagnostics: 1 Lehigh / Koens-Crispin broadspear, 1 triangular rhyolite point, 1 quartz side notched point, and 1 possible steatite net sinker.
There was also a historic artifact concentration at the site and the artifacts collected included white salt glazed stoneware (some with Barley pattern), whiteware, red-bodied earthenware, and green wine bottle glass.
