\nIn April of 2014, Flint resident David Henry made an amazing discovery while using a metal detector on some property not far from the UM-Flint campus. He brought his find to the Archaeology & Biological Anthropology Laboratory at the UM-Flint for consultation. He met with Dr. Beverly Smith<\/a>, Associate Professor and Honors Advisor of Anthropology, and she \u201cdetermined the artifact to be a likely bracelet (based on size) and likely of trade silver probably dating to the 18th<\/sup> century. The artifact [had] designs reminiscent of traditional Algonquin origins.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2036\"<\/a>
\nOn Friday, September 26th<\/sup>, Smith returned to the site of the find with over 15\u00a0of her UM-Flint students, recruited from two of her courses: Introduction to Archaeology and Historical Archaeology. Their plan was to map and make limited excavations to assess the location of Henry\u2019s discovery. The excavations will help to determine whether the artifact was original to the place or whether it was brought from elsewhere. Discoveries on the property could have an impact on future use of the land and would help create \u201cunderstanding of the potential for properties to contain deposits important for reconstructing the precontact and historic period of the city\/region.\u201d<\/p>\n

The students who participated were Stephanie Grant,\u00a0Monica Wiggins,\u00a0Thomas Steele,\u00a0Rhonda Banks,\u00a0Daniel Conner,\u00a0Tyler Legato,\u00a0Sarah Dyszlewski,\u00a0Kaitlyn Maitland,\u00a0Amber Judd,\u00a0Krystal Starr Perry,\u00a0Katye Reed,\u00a0Kami Misch,\u00a0Guillermo Barillas,\u00a0Jonathon Henneberry,\u00a0Heather Inman,\u00a0Emily Brender, and\u00a0Mark Miller.<\/p>\n

The students\u2019 findings will be reported to several groups, including the Stockton House Museum, the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe, the Genesee County Land Bank, and the State Archaeologist office.<\/p>\n

To avoid destroying other possible archaeological remains, the Stockton House Museum has requested Smith and her students return in the spring to test some areas on their front lawn before a cannon is installed.<\/p>\n

For more information on the Anthropology Department, please visit their website<\/a> or contact Dr. Smith at bevsmith@umflint.edu.<\/p>\n
