Minisink Archeological Site, also known as Minisink Historic District, is an archeological site located in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania.[3] Hundreds of early stone tools along with remains of fish and fruit indicated a more diverse diet than previously expected. [4] It was one of the most important Munsee Native American communities during the initial contact with the American colonials.[5] It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993.[2] Two 100-year floods, T.S. Ivan in September 2004 and the Spring flood in April 2005, caused severe erosion to one of the contributing archeological sites, 36Pi04 (Manna Site) located at the confluence of the Raymondskill Creek and Delaware River.
