The Younge site in eastern Michigan is a major Late Woodland archaeological site that became the type site for the Younge phase, dated roughly to A.D. 1000 to 1200, within the broader Western Basin tradition. Excavations beginning in 1934 uncovered two long, narrow enclosures containing burials, pits, fireplaces, plant and animal remains, and a large pottery assemblage. Maize found in several pits showed that agriculture was part of the local economy. The burials and altered human remains provided rare evidence of mortuary practices and suggested ceremonies resembling the Feast of the Dead historically associated with the Huron. Younge played an important role in establishing southeastern Michigan’s Late Woodland chronology.
