Skegemog Point Site
The Skegemog Point Site, also known as the Samels Field Site or Samels Site and designated 20GT2, is an archaeological site located on the property of the Samels Farm at 8298 Skegemog Point Road, near Williamsburg, Michigan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Samels Family Heritage Society )〕 Material at the site spans over 10,000 years, and the site is unique in that, due to glacial rebound, it is horizontally stratified rather than vertically stratified.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = The Archaeological Conservancy )〕 The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.〔
==History==
In 1889, Frank and Mary Samels purchased 64 acres of land on Skegemog Point, the peninsuala separating Lake Skegemog from Elk Lake.〔 While farming the site, he discovered many Indian artifacts, arrow points and axes, as well as many mounds and pits along the lakeshore. In the 1920s, an archaeologist from the University of Michigan surveyed the site, and in 1930 department head Wilbert B. Hinsdale did further work. Frank Samels died in 1955, and passed the farm to his three sons Dennis, Ben, and Rob Samels. In 1965, the Samels gave permission to Charles Cleland, Michigan State University Museum Curator, to excavate the site. Cleland discovered evidence of a long history of habitation at the site. In 1972, the site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In the 1990s, the Samels entered into an agreement with The Archaeological Conservancy to preserve the entire farm, including the archaeological site.〔 After the last of the Samels brothers died in 2002, the Conservancy leased the farm to a nonprofit group, the Samels Family Heritage Society, and it became an education center.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Samels Family Heritage Society )〕
