The Milford Marine Institute has announced the discovery of an ancient lithic gouge at their annual archaeology/native culture camp in July. The gouge, which was used in making dugout canoes, was found by camper Quinn May on Friday, July 12, along the “River of Lost Name,” the Marine Institute’s name for the Indian or East River in Milford. Also found the same week by the campers was an 18th century complete pewter button, translucent hide scraper, complete felsite knife and several projectiles.
