Hirundo Wildlife Refuge is a wildlife refuge covering 2,402 acres (972 ha) along Pushaw and Dead streams in Penobscot County, Maine. The refuge was founded in 1965 by Oliver Larouche from his parent's 3 acres (1.2 ha) camp. The refuge was donated as a trust to the University of Maine in 1983 by Larouche and his wife, June.

Hirundo is just downstream of Pushaw Lake and includes part of the Caribou Bog wetland complex, which is one of the largest wetlands in Maine. The refuge is also the site of the National Register-listed Hirundo Site, a prehistoric Native American habitation site with evidence of 4,500 years of occupation.
The Coombe Historic District is a national historic district located at Felton, Kent County, Delaware. It encompasses two contributing buildings and one contributing structure near the town of Felton representing an unusual mixture of archaeological resources, both prehistoric and historic, in combination with two excellent examples of domestic architecture from the 18th and 19th centuries. They are the brick Benjamin Coombe House, built in 1778, and the frame Caldwell House, built about 1872, with their respective outbuildings. It also includes the Hopkins Cemetery, begun in the late-19th century, and three historic archaeological house sites, as well as an area of prehistoric occupation that was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 as "Area F" in the Hughes Early Man Complex.

Among the finds are fluted projectile points and flakes created during the manufacture of such points.
The Hughes-Willis Site is a prehistoric Native American archaeological site in Kent County, Delaware. It is located in Dover, Delaware on the banks of the Little River, and was identified in 1971. The site contains evidence of occupation dating back 5,000 years, with its most significant occupational period being the Middle Woodland Period. Finds at the site include projectile points, and tools for cutting and scraping made of stone. The evidence suggests the site was occupied seasonally, probably sometime in the period between late fall and mid-winter.
The Island Field Site (7K-F-17) is a major archaeological site in Kent County, Delaware, United States. The site is located in South Bowers, just south of the Murderkill River near where it empties into Delaware Bay.

The site was first identified in the 1920s during road work, and was excavated in the 1950s-60s, after which the area was eventually built up to include a museum. In 1986 members of the local Nanticoke tribe protested the display and removal for research of burial remains at the site.

The Dill Farm Site (7K-E-12) is a prehistoric archaeological site in Kent County, Delaware, near the town of Sandtown. The site located in a formerly swampy area, has yielded dates of 500 BC and 8000 BC. Carey Complex ceramics have also been found at the 55-acre (22 ha) site.
The Indian River Archeological Complex is a collection of archaeological sites near Millsboro, Delaware, encompassing what is the only known riverine settlement in Sussex County during the Middle Woodland Period. It consists of three separate sites, 7S-F-11, 7S-F-12, and 7S-F-13. These sites appear to have been semi-permanent seasonal settlements, occupied during the spring and fall, and abandoned for other hunting and fishing grounds in the summer and winter. Finds at each site include both worked stone artifacts including projectile points, as well as different types of ceramics. The combination of finds raises questions about the pattern of cultural migration in the area, which further investigation of the sites may shed light on. Of the three sites, two have been subjected to surface-level collection, and one, 7S-F-13, has been subjected to more intensive excavations.
The Thayer Farm Site, designated by the Smithsonian trinomial 31RD10, is a prehistoric archaeological site in Randolph County, North Carolina.

Finds at the site include pottery fragments, projectile points, animal bone, shell fragments, and human bone, the latter indicating the presence of burials. Two acres of the site were donated to the Historic Preservation Foundation for North Carolina in 1985.

The site, located on the Hunter family farm in eastern Topsham, is a Late Archaic Native American habitation site, dating to 4000–5000 years before present. Finds at the site include calcined fragments of fish bones, indicative that the inhabitants' diet included striped bass and sturgeon. Stone tools, including projectile points, have also been found at the site.
The Sebre Lake Site is a prehistoric Native American archaeological site in Fort Ripley Township, Minnesota, United States. It has yielded habitation and burial features accumulated over 4,000 years of intermittent use from the mid-Archaic to the early Late Woodland period.

It was nominated for being one of the richest archaeological sites in the Nokasippi River Valley.
