Archeological exploration indicates that indigenous peoples of the Wampanoag tribe have inhabited the shores of the region for approximately 10,000 to 7,500 years.[5] In his 1969 book, Archaeology of Martha's Vineyard, William A Ritchie excavated and carbon-dated materials found in the shell middens and living sites around the Vineyard including Nashaquitsa Pond.[citation needed]
