Ancient artifacts dating back roughly 7,000 years ago to 5000 B.C., were found by state archeologists on land in Rutland Town recently.Scott Dillon, a survey archeologist with the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, said 16 projectiles were found at one location and appeared to be intentionally buried together in a pit.
The artifacts included stoneworking tools, fire-cracked rock and containers for cooking. “They would heat up rock and drop the rock into the pot to heat up the food,” Dillon said.
