PAST Projects > Yellowbush Creek Camp Site (33-MS-29)

A late Late Archaic seasonal base camp associated with the Maple Creek phase located on a terrace beside the Ohio River near the Village of Racine in Meigs County, Ohio. Carbon testing from the site yielded a calibrated date range between 1916 B.C. and 1290 B.C. with a secondary Late Woodland to Late Prehistoric component also present. Excavations at the site resulted in the recovery of a total of 16,735 prehistoric artifacts that included 13,505 FCR, 2,943 debitage, 76 formed artifacts (e.g. cores, blanks, biface fragments), 126 tools, and 85 pottery fragments.
