Fosters Site
History

Near Bridgeport, Michigan, beside the Flint River, the Fosters Site preserves the remains of a Late Woodland village that was likely occupied seasonally during the fall and winter. Excavations in 1967 by researchers from the University of Michigan Museum of Archaeology uncovered ceramic shards, triangular weapon points, and fish and plant remains. These findings provide evidence of daily life and show how the community used the river environment. The site's archaeological importance was formally recognized when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
