I came across this link while doing more reseach on the history of Col. Henry W. Shoemaker, Fort Horn, Wayne Twp. and Clinton County. It has a lot of valuable information on different counties & boroughs in PA. It's a huge online book from the library of PSU by Frederic A. Godcharles and copyrighted in 1944 by Lewis Historical Publishing Co., Inc.

In the sections under CLINTON COUNTY it tells about the places the archeologist have been to and found valuable Andaste artifacts.
Andaste meaning...
The Susquehannock people were natives of areas adjacent to the Susquehanna River and its tributaries from the southern part of what is now New York, through Pennsylvania, to the mouth of the Susquehanna in Maryland at the north end of the Chesapeake Bay. These people were called: Andastes by the French (from their Huron name Andastoerrhonon),Minquas by the Dutch and Swedes (their Lenape (Delaware) name meaning "treacherous"),Susquehannocks by the English of Maryland and Virginia (an Algonquian name meaning "people of the muddy river", and Conestogas by the English of Pennsylvania (from Kanastoge, meaning "place of the immersed pole", the name of their village in Pennsylvania).
Lots of reading material, Enjoy
