The site is located in Pittston Academy Grant, an unorganized territory north of Moosehead Lake.  The site is near Pittston Farm on Seeboomook Lake.  The farm originally functioned as the center for Great Northern Paper Company's logging activities.  It now offers rustic accommodations for outdoor recreation enthusiasts in an area rich in natural beauty and history.

After days of surveys without any luck our group was running out of hope.  On the third day Brad Edwards and I hit stone.  Could it be???!!!  We had found a hearth where a very busy toolmaker had been sitting.  Along with our first found feature, our group collected artifact 130.35.38; a biface fragment which has been worked to form a uniface scraper.  In addition, we collected over 800 pieces of lithic debitage and a felsite core.
