Did you survey for the presence of Native American artifacts?

David Bush: Back in 1989 through the early 1990s, I directed several surveys on the island documenting the various cultural resources on the island. This included several concentrations of prehistoric Native American sites, the prison site, and subsequent occupation for the quarry. The island had a fairly large prehistoric occupation, but the evidence suggests that where the quarry was excavated may have been where the most concentrated village occupation existed. We find evidence of Native American use of the island in our studies, and completely document all evidence recovered. Most of the prehistoric Native American evidence is from the Late Archaic to late prehistoric.
