When the region's earliest inhabitants migrated into the
New World during the Ice Age, Native Americans frequently revisited the Snyder
Farm from 13,000 years ago up to the 17th century. Native people used the
surplus of natural resources available at the Snyder Farm to help them survive.
Many of these resources, such as toolstone (e.g., flint and jasper) quarries and
natural springs, are still present today. An archaeological dig by students at
Temple University studies early Native inhabitants and the geologic development
of the soils and sediments found along the Delaware River. This will help us to
understand Native lifeways and how people in the past adaptedto environmental
change through the last 13,000 years.
