History
Scott Point Site is a Late Woodland archaeological village on the Lake Michigan shore in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, near a small sandy bay that likely served as the best nearby canoe landing. Covering about an acre and partly exposed by sand erosion, it contains hearth remains marked by fire-damaged rocks and artifacts including pottery sherds, flint tools, hammerstones, bone tools, and animal remains. Fish bones are especially abundant, along with deer, moose, and beaver, indicating a probable seasonal fall fishing settlement. Examined several times in the early 1960s by archaeologist George Quimby, the site preserves important evidence of Late Woodland lifeways and subsistence.
