Vermont Public Radio When the bridge between Crown Point New York and Chimney Point, Vermont was constructed in 1929, builders came across the remains of what was assumed to be an 18th century French fort. 
So archaeologists have long known about its probable existence. But there was a general assumption that the bridge construction would have damaged or ruined whatever was left of the fort. There was a lot of anguish surrounding the demise of the bridge at the end of last year. But there has been some good news to emerge from the rubble. Archaeologists poking around Chimney Point have found a wealth of information and artifacts that illuminate human history dating back 9,000 years. John Crock is the director of UVM's Consulting Archaeology Program and he's been lead investigator at the Chimney Point dig. He spoke with VPR's Jane Lindholm about the site and what they are learning.
