YARDLEY, Pa. (AP) -- Archaeologists will begin excavation work next week on a dig for Native American artifacts on the Pennsylvania side of a bridge carrying Interstate 95 between Bucks County, Pa., and Mercer County, N.J.

The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission said Friday that the archaeological team will seek to recover and catalog Native American artifacts, some of which could date back to 8,000 B.C. to 10,000 B.C. The dig is taking place on a site where a new bridge will be replacing the Scudder Falls Bridge as part of a $322 million project.
