Archaeological Investigations at Chippewa Nature Center
Wed, June 11
7-8 pm
Since 1966 archaeological excavations have been conducted at Chippewa Nature Center including ancient Native American sites, the first settlers of Midland, and early farms. Currently the Oxbow Archaeologists are exploring sites along old river channels on CNC's Riverpoint property. This program will give a description of the sites that have been excavated at CNC since 1966 as well as the Oxbow Archaeologists' current excavations. Meet at the Visitor Center.
This Week At Oxbow
The Oxbow Archaeologists excavated at Riverpoint #3 on May 24 and 31. We also found a fluting flake from a Barnes point in the collections.
