Rediscovering Raritan Landing

Who knew that the New Jersey Department of Transportation has an archaeology department? Discoveries made while widening Landing Lane in Piscataway, NJ led to a thirty year excavation of a vanished port called Raritan Landing, a couple of hundred yards down the Raritan from New Brunswick. This is an fascinating look at a pre-Revolutionary settlement, who lived there and how they lived and most intriguingly, why it disappeared. Lots of illustrations and photographs.
