The Public Archaeology Laboratory, Inc. (PAL) conducted a townwide archaeological reconnaissance survey to inventory known pre- and post-contact archaeological sites and identify areas sensitive for Native American archaeological sites and historical land use within East Greenwich’s 16.71 square mile municipal tract. The reconnaissance survey project was funded through a Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission (RIHPHC) Certified Local Government (CLG) Grant and will assist the Town of East Greenwich with future planning consistent with its 2026 Comprehensive Plan Update.
