Abstract
The research focus for this project is a comparative analysis of the artifactual data from three historic sites from the middle of the nineteenth century. The three contemporaneous sites from southern Michigan include a log cabin site (20MU93), Indian Landing (20BA02), and Blendon Landing (20OT73). Indian Landing was a mission site to Native Americans, 20MU93 was a log cabin habitation/agricultural site of the nineteenth century, and Blending Landing was a logging camp. The goal of the analysis of these three sites is to see if there is a distinct archaeological signature identifiable from three similar sites from the same time period. Moreover, the comparative analysis will include a heavy emphasis on the historical artifacts specifically recovered form Indian Landing.
