Maryland’s earliest colonial settlement — and one of the first American colonies — finally has been discovered after nearly a century of searching.
Archaeologists Travis Parno and Tim Horsley announced the discovery on Monday, The Washington Post reported. Parno had been searching for the settlement, St. Mary’s, since 2017, but archeologists have been seeking evidence of the settlement since the 1930s. Parno and Horsley’s discovery was deemed conclusive in late 2019, but the coronavirus pandemic kept them from announcing their find.
