Calluna Hill (Site 59-73) is a small Pequot village attacked and burned by the
English during their retreat following the attack on the Pequot fortified village
at Mistick on May 26, 1637. Excavations and metal detecting over the last
few years have identified seven distinct domestic areas with associated
household middens. Differences in artifact assemblages and food remains
indicate a high degree of intra-site variability with respect to domestic
production, activities and food consumption which may reflect status
differences. This presentation will discuss recent research at Calluna Hill
within the broader context of Pequot settlement patterns and evolving social
and political complexity in the early seventeenth century.
