Shoop Site (36DA20)

Shoop Site (designated 33DA20) is a prehistoric archaeological site in Jackson Township and Wayne Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.

It is the site of a large Paleoindian campsite, dated to 9,000-9,500 BC.

[2] In the decades since its discovery, the site has yielded approximately 7,000 artifacts scattered over at least 37 acres for lithic analysis.

Additionally, there is a large number of “astoundingly reworked” fluted Projectile points and endscrapers, and fully 98% of the artifacts are made from a lithic material that originates hundreds of miles away.
