The Cooper Site is an archaeological site in Lyme, Connecticut. On a terrace of the Connecticut River near Hamburg Cove, the site has yielded evidence of Middle to Late Woodland occupation. The Late Woodland component includes evidence interpreted as the site of a wigwam, with a large number of stone chips consistent with the development of stone tools at the site. The Middle Woodland component is interpreted as a series of small camps whose occupation was relatively brief. Finds at the site have been dated as far back as c. 500 CE, and include narrow-stemmed projectile points, most of which were made from local quartz, but also from more distant chert and hornfels, some which is from quarries as far off as New Jersey. Pottery finds include fragments with dentate stamping.
The Duffy Site is a substantial archaeological site along the Wabash River in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of Illinois. Located near the village of New Haven in Gallatin County, it is the type site for the Duffy Complex, a group of similar sites on the Illinois side of the Wabash near its confluence with the Ohio River. Duffy is distinctive largely because of its pottery: the site's inhabitants typically produced ceramics of various thicknesses and comparatively few decorative elements, tempered with grog. What decorations exist are typically limited to one or two rows of simple lines or bars that have been incised or stamped on the side of the piece of pottery. Projectile points found at the site are small triangular "Mounds Stemless" points, and the inhabitants produced celts of a vaguely rectangular shape. The site is believed to have been inhabited circa AD 1000.
The Scarborough House Archaeological Site in Accomack County, Virginia, is believed to be the location of the estate house of Edmund Scarborough, the Eastern Shore's largest landowner in the 17th century.

Virginia state archaeologists have mapped the extent and integrity of the site.
