Gunflints, Maroons, and the Interesting Site of 16OR14.

The article explores the archaeological site of 16OR14 in northeastern Orleans Parish, Louisiana. The site contains a large number of gunflints and has evidence of pre-contact Native American pottery as well as Euroamerican ceramics from the late 1700s to early 1800s. The site suggests sporadic occupation over the past 2,500 years, with a significant occupation in the early 1800s. The location of the site away from transportation routes raises questions about its purpose, and there is a possibility that it may have been a Maroon settlement. Further research is needed to fully understand the site's nature. [Extracted from the article]
