'''Shoop Site''' (designated '''[[Smithsonian trinomial|33DA20]]''') is a prehistoric [[archaeological site]] in [[Jackson Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania|Jackson Township]] and [[Wayne Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania|Wayne Township]], [[Dauphin County, Pennsylvania]].  It is the site of a large [[Paleoindian]] campsite, dated to 9,000-9,500 BC.  It was first discovered in the 1930s by George Gordon, and also studied by [[Frank Soday]] who later discovered the [[Quad site]].<ref name="arch">{{cite web| url = https://www.dot7.state.pa.us/ce/SelectWelcome.asp| title = National Historic Landmarks & National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania| publisher = CRGIS: Cultural Resources Geographic Information System| format = Searchable database}} ''Note:'' This includes {{cite web| url = {{NRHP-PA|H083519_01H.pdf}} | title = National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form: Shoop Site| accessdate = 2011-11-12| author =Ira Beckerman| format = PDF| date= 1980}}</ref> In the decades since its discovery, the site has yielded approximately 7,000 artifacts scattered over at least 37 acres for [[lithic analysis]]. Additionally, there is a large number of “astoundingly reworked” fluted [[Projectile point|Projectile points]] and endscrapers, and fully 98% of the artifacts are made from a lithic material that originates hundreds of miles away.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Carr |first=Kurt |date=October 2010 |title=Probing the Mysteries of the Shoop Site |url=https://liberalarts.tamu.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2019/08/vol_26num1.pdf |journal=Mammoth Trumpet |publisher=[[Texas A&M University]] |volume=26 |issue=1 |pages=1-11 |issn=8755-6898}}</ref>
