An archaeological review of the new library site unearthed artifacts from pre-historic American Indians possibly dating back to 6000 B.C. Cynthia Blakemore from the State Historic Preservation Office theorized that the site may have been a camp area for a transitory band of very early Native Americans.
The artifacts will be curated at the New York State Museum. The Library plans to find a way to permanently document the importance of this study, which will forever connect the Library with those Native Americans.
