The Potomac Palisades Site is an archaeological site in Washington, D.C., United States. Measuring about 1 acre (0.40 ha) in area,[1] the site lies near the intersection of MacArthur Boulevard and Foxhall Road,[2]: 4 along the Potomac River.[3] It is one of many archaeological sites in the present-day Potomac Palisades;[2]: 4 a 1984 field survey revealed evidence that supported earlier ideas of the archaeological richness of the northern bank of the Potomac in this area.[2]: 8
Among the artifacts found during excavation at the site is a triangle-shaped projectile point.[3] The primary use of the site appears to have been during the Late Archaic period, during which time it was heavily used as a lithic workshop.[2]: 4 In recognition of its archaeological value, the Potomac Palisades Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
