The Nauset Archaeological District (or "Coast Guard Beach Site,19BN374" or "North Salt Pond Site,19BN390") is a National Historic Landmark District in Eastham, Massachusetts.

The archaeological sites document early European contact with the Native Americans in the region. The earliest Native Americans to settle used stone hoes and fire-hardened wood tools for farming.[3] The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[2][1] The area can be visited via the Fort Hill area of the Cape Cod National Seashore, off U. S. Route 6, where the Fort Hill and Red Maple Swamp trails wind from the top of the hill to the marsh and beyond.[4]
