We are a professionally mentored group of amateur archaeologists and an affiliate group of Chippewa Nature Center in Midland, Michigan.
We conduct archaeological research on the grounds of Chippewa Nature Center. We investigate both prehistoric Native American campsites and historic settler cabins.
The Oxbow Archaeologists meet on Wednesday evenings (6-8 P.M.) and Saturday mornings (9-12 A.M.). We are always looking for volunteers to help with our projects.
The Oxbow Archaeologists began the 2024 excavation season on May 8! We are starting the season at the Riverpoint #1 site. We are excavating a concentration of flintknapping debris on the east end of the site.
The Oxbow Archaeologists found this fluted Barnes point while sorting a large collection of artifacts from a site near Mapleton. The collection was donated to CNC last year.
