Flakes of chert, a fine-grained sedimentary rock, were probably used for hunting and cooking by the Native Americans who lived on the property surrounding Staatsburgh Historic Site before the Europeans arrived in the early-seventeenth century. These chert flakes date to the early Archaic Period (8000-1500BC) in the Hudson River Valley, and were likely used by the Wappinger peoples, a small branch of the larger Algonquian nation. The artifacts were located in about a 4 inch thick layer of soil between the topsoil and the subsoil, beginning at a depth of approximately 10 feet.
