 Wampum Factory

For those of you who follow the Hawthorne 
News you know about Lafayette Hills.
It is a development about to happen because
 of an admixture of a builders need and the
needs of COAH which forces a state mandate
 for low cost housing. There has been much
in the way of protest about the number of units 
being put into the development and it
again is to come to the town planning board.
 My son Mark recently found out that the
land is the site of an 18th century Wampum
 Factory. He obtained a paper written by 
a local archeologist which details the history 
of excavations at the site and it makes for
great reading even if you are not in the least
 interested in the development. So I present
the paper below. It is from the North Jersey
 Highlander in 1982 and authored by Ed Lenik.
