A newspaper article from 1949 noted the finding, by amateur archaeologist, R. F. Duffy of evidence of an Algonquin village in the vicinity of Mt. Dallas near Everett. Artifacts were discovered over a ten-acre site located on the farm of A. F. Foor, which is in the vicinity of the Hartley Tavern. A representative of Carnegie Institute came to the site to confirm the dating of the site. Hundreds of pottery shards were discovered and a number of urns painstakingly reconstructed by Mr. Duffy and his fourteen year old son, John. The pottery urns were identified as Algonquin and dated to circa the year 1000 A.D.
In addition to pottery shards and smooth bone hunting points, the skeleton of a child estimated to have been about seven years old at death was discovered. A bone necklace was around the neck of the skeletal remains which were found in a midden or refuse mound. Of special interest was a small needle-sharp fishhook made from bone. Only four other similar fishhooks were known to have been found in Pennsylvania at the time.
