Fisher site

The Fisher site lies in the floodplain of the Enlow Fork,[2]: 3  occupying a relatively rare clearing in the predominantly wooded hills of northern Greene County.

[2]: 2 Nearly 1,100 artifacts were recovered from the test pits of the third excavation, including animal bones, stone tools, and over 500 potsherds of various styles.

[2]: 2 Intensive industrialization in the river valleys of southwestern Pennsylvania has likely destroyed most of the region's Monongahela sites originally located in floodplains.

[2]: 3  In contrast to this common situation, the Enlow Fork in the vicinity of the Fisher site is quite undeveloped; only small roads traverse the region, and — unlike in southern Richhill Township — no gas wells operate nearby.

[3] The pristine condition of the site and the likelihood that it will yield information about the little-known Drew Phase has led it to be assessed as highly worthy of preservation.
