  • Summary: Join Dan Zoto for a virtual presentation through time as he explores the rich Native American history of Cape Cod. Dan will use the results of his recent analysis of the Eastham Historical Society's artifact collections to highlight technological and cultural changes over thousands of years of Native life on Cape Cod. Learn how people adapted to the Cape's dynamic environment as it changed from a small rise on a vast coastal plain to the narrow peninsula ringed with bays, estuaries, and salt marshes that it is today.
    Bio: Dan Zoto is an archaeologist living on Cape Cod. He holds a bachelor's degree in Anthropology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and a master's in Anthropology from the University of Connecticut. Dan works as a Principal Investigator-Archaeology at Gray & Pape, Inc. in Providence. He has worked on over 100 archaeological projects throughout the northeast, including numerous surveys and excavations on Cape Cod. He has also done extensive public outreach work with the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History. His research interests include New England's Native American history, stone tools, lithic sourcing, and coastal archaeology.

    I live in Berkley, MA across the river from the Sweets Knoll site. I recently found a stone paint bowl which I immediately knew was Native American. I was curious so I took it to the Old Colony History Museum and learned that it dates back 10-12,000 years!
    There was a massive dig done called the Bear Swamp Site I and Site II, beginning in 1969 which was published in volume 38 of the Massachusetts Archaeological Society journal of 1969. It’s fascinating if you google the journal report. There was also a red paint ceremonial burial and thousands of other artifacts found. Turns out it’s once of only 15 (I think) sites that paleoindian points and artifacts have been found in the northeast.

    Nice presentation, great subject area.
    The Native Americans had a network of trade that ran West to East and North to South. They were mobile. All waterways were used like Highways.
    Including the Ocean, Phonecians traveled the entire globe. This has been proven through artifacts from Mideast found in Peru, Nicotine in Egyptian Mummies, and DNA of Iranians in New Zealand.
    "Mainstream Academia" have a Paradigm that is outdated.
    Its far more interesting and logical, with these and other Peer Reviewed Updates.
    The USA is lagging behind a bit.

    Exotic stones originating from far West may have ended up in Cape Cod due to Indian groups following migrating herds East. Mississippi Mound Indian culture not surprisingly bears similarities to Mexican Indian cultures thousands of miles away.

      You need to do more research on my people and how smart and powerful we where the history you learn is watered down and flip flopped. The Algonquin are a strong people. For me being a Narragansett man I know for a fact our history is rich and you only get told 1/8 out the truth

    "When these people colonized the region"?!?!? Are you serious?!?! We did not colonize any region! That isn't part if our culture! Also, the picture of men hollowing out a tree for a canoe is also inaccurate. This would've been done using fire as the main tool. Stone tools are for refinement when the burning is done. The image doesn't suggest the log has been burned.
