Discovery and Name
The Neville site is named after its owner, John Neville. John Neville received the property from the Stark family. For years the site was not known to have any archaeological importance and remained unexcavated. It was not until the construction of a bridge threatened to destroy it that the New Hampshire Archaeological Society decided to take notice of the site. After surveying the site, they planned an excavation in hopes of salvaging as much as they could before it was completely demolished.

Famous quotes containing the word discovery:
“Your discovery of the contradiction caused me the greatest surprise and, I would almost say, consternation, since it has shaken the basis on which I intended to build my arithmetic.... It is all the more serious since, with the loss of my rule V, not only the foundations of my arithmetic, but also the sole possible foundations of arithmetic seem to vanish.”
—Gottlob Frege (1848–1925)
