Along the north bank of the Platte River near Empire, Michigan, this archaeological site preserves a largely intact record of repeated human use from the Middle and Late Woodland periods, with occupations dating from about A.D. 130 to 1269. Archaeologists interpret it as a seasonal campground used intermittently over many centuries rather than a permanent settlement. Excavations uncovered fire-cracked rocks, chert flakes, ceramic sherds, projectile points, celts, and copper artifacts, revealing multiple layers of prehistoric activity. The area was later reused by the logging community of Edgewater and then as a modern campground, yet archaeological work found that much of its prehistoric integrity survived.
