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.
This week (November 2 and 5) we conducted lab work in the Resource Building at CNC. We ended the field season at the Badour Gate site on October 22 and we are now washing, sorting and analyzing artifacts from the 2022 season. We are still doing some mapping and plan to excavate at the site in 2023.
