Mashantucket — Archaeology students and volunteers worked at the "Raspberry Trail" Paleoindian archaeology dig supervised by Zachary Singer, a doctoral student at the University of Connecticut working in conjunction with Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center staff, in the Great Cedar Swamp on the Mashantucket reservation Wednesday.
Singer recently revealed a set of 12,000-year-old artifacts discovered at a nearby site, named "Ohomowauke." That site is now closed but the Raspberry Trail site is similar and Singer hopes to prove similar Paleoindian occupation at that site.
