Two Dogs Site (original) (raw)
The Two Dogs Site is a lithic quarry site located in Person County, North Carolina. This prehistoric archaeological site dates to the Middle Archaic and Woodland Periods, and it is classified as a lithic quarry site due to the presence of thousands of lithic artifacts found there. Located in the Carolina Slate Belt, the stone materials present at Two Dogs provided prehistoric peoples with openly accessible lithic resources, predominantly for tool-making, as they passed through the site between other, more residential areas. Two Dogs was excavated from 2004-2005 following shovel testing at the beginning of the decade. The lithic materials found at the Two Dogs Site were subjected to petrographic analysis, and isotopes were geochemically tested to confirm the origins of the stone artifacts.

The Two Dogs site has been determined to be neither residential or agricultural; rather, this site was exclusively an area where people from nearby sedentary civilizations could access their necessary lithic resources.
