Pre-European era

The Nottingham site is an archeological site located on a terrace of the Patuxent River, near Upper Marlboro, Prince George's County, Maryland. The site contains an important record of more than 5000 years of prehistory, including Middle Archaic (ca. 6000 BC) through Late Woodland (AD 1600) materials. Of particular note are a sizable Middle Woodland Selby Bay component, and a large Late Woodland component (ca. AD 1550-1600) which may correspond to the village of Mattpament depicted on John Smith’s 1608 map.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]

Colonial settlement

The Bowie family settled in this area during the colonial period, building a number of homes including "Mattaponi".[3]
