}}Aquadoctan was one of the largest known Native American villages in what is now the U.S. state of New Hampshire. In an area commonly known today as The Weirs (for the semi-permanent fishing weirs the Natives had built on the river), the village lay on the north bank of the Winnipesaukee River at the outlet of Lake Winnipesaukee in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. The site is now in Weirs Beach, a summer resort and village of the city of Laconia. The Native American village, whose archaeological remains extend for a half mile along the river and a quarter mile along the lake, has been documented through archaeological investigation to have a settlement history from 9,000 BCE to the late 17th century. The site is documented through colonial reports to be substantially abandoned in 1696, when most of New Hampshire's remaining Native population withdrew to join the Pequawket at present-day Fryeburg, Maine.[2]

The area has long been of archaeological interest, due to its documented historical usage. Portions of the area were formally investigated in 1976-79 by a team from the University of New Hampshire, and in 1977 by Howard Sargent, long a leading figure in New Hampshire archaeology.[3] Finds at the site yield evidence of habitation back to the Paleo-Indian period (c. 7600 BCE). These finds were located under Middle Archaic remains, indicating a long period of occupation. The site was one of the first in northern New England to yield evidence of human activity in this time period.[4]

A {{convert|15|acre|ha|adj=on}} section of the village site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
