Abstract
Archaeological evidence from the Lucy Vincent Beach Site provides a unique opportunity to examine the archaeological record on Martha's Vineyard from the Late Paleo-Indian period (10,000 B.P.) through the end ofthe Contact period (A.D. 1700). Archaeobotanical and osteological analysis ofthe remains from Lucy Vincent indicate the exploitation ofa wide variety ofplants and animals. Data from this site will contribute to our understanding ofthe complex relationship between environmental change and the lifeways of New England's Native peoples, and it will allow us to investigate the history of the Wampanoag Tribe on Martha's Vineyard.
