Rock Creek (18FR99)
Site History
The Rock Creek site (18FR99) is a Middle and Late Archaic and Early and Middle Woodland short-term camp located in a plowed field south of Rock Creek in Frederick County, Maryland.
Archaeological Investigations
The site was first reported to the Maryland Geological Survey by avocational archaeologist Spencer Geasey in 1970, who had conducted a non-systematic surface search of the plowed field. The site was relocated by Mareen Kavanagh and Donald W. Peck during the Monocacy River regional survey, conducted between 1978 and 1982.
Geasey's collection from the site, later donated to MHT, was cataloged for the Monocacy study, and included 1 Guilford lanceolate, 2 Lackawaxen, 2 Bare Island, 1 Halifax side-notched, 1 Perkiomen, 1 Susquehanna Broadspear, 2 Accokeek, 1 Selby Bay lanceolate, and 1 Selby Bay side-notched (Variant B) point. Peck found 3 rhyolite flakes during his 1978 field visit.
