February 09, 2018
Lynn Chapman presents Native American Occupations at the Ada Site!
The talk will be on Wednesday, February 14, at 7 p.m., 149 Lake Michigan Hall.
The Ada Site (20KT36) is a multicomponent site located in Kent
County, MI. The site is now mostly destroyed, but analysis of
collections made by avocational archaeologists reveal five distinct
occupations:
Early Archaic; circa 6000B.C. Middle Woodland; ca
100B.C.-200A.D. Early Late Woodland; 500-1200A.D. Late Prehistoric;
1450A.D. and a post 1760 Late Historic Ottawa village.
Focus of the talk will be on the nature of the site and the late prehistoric occupation.
