The site is one of the many islands in the Chequamegon Bay; which is located in modern day Minnesota. Tracing back to its furthest origins, the site had been initially occupied by the Odawa and Huron people, also known as the Ojibwe, They had arrived along with Pierre Espirit Radisson in modern day Green Bay between the years 1651-1652.

Purpose


The site had initially been utilized as a trading post and as a site for hunting grounds, as well as much outdoor activity. The site had been occupied by the Ojibwe people up until 1902 when the site had been incorporated into Wadena County. Anthropologists have made use of metal detectors in order to uncover many artifacts from the site, which include ceramic materials that also include various forms of knifes, many gun fragments, utensils, nails, and a whole plethora of a variety of tools. Many researchers that have visited and studied the area have a wide variety of roles within the field of academia, but most are prominent Archaeologists and professors.

Extractions
Much of their findings had been that of their resources, but more prominently they had discovered a significant amount of pottery and ceramics that work to tell much of their story that dates back to early events. Along with this, the researchers have also discovered many cemeteries within this region and uncovered remains within the area that have been used as burial grounds for their corpses.

Excavations


More specifically, Leland Cooper had conducted excavations in the year 1961, which had worked to dig extensively throughout the region through a system of trenches and blocks. As a result of this excavation, archaeologists had been able to recover a significant amount of holes, and thousands of various artifacts. While the findings had varied, a significant amount of the artifacts that had been uncovered had been remains from pottery items, revealing yet again the popularity of ceramics that had been present within this region. There had been a number of features that had defined this finding which had included a few spots of charcoal, as well as a region of clay that had been known as a “clay floor.” The floor had essentially been a giant slab of red colored clay that covered a huge majority of the entire excavation block. The clay had been uncovered at approximately 30 cm beneath the ground, and is believed as being from 5 to 8 cm fat.
