Abstract
Brose excavted and analyzed material from the Summer Island site. The three components at the site are: Middle Woodland, Upper Missisippian, and Protohistoric. Only the materials related to the Middle Woodland period component were indexed for Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM) codes. The site contains the remains of four dwellings and some drying racks and storage pits. The site appears to have been occupied during the spring and summer for three or four years with fishing the main focus of the site. Artifacts found at the site included ceramics and stone, bone and copper artifacts, including some copper beads and one 'effigy claw.' Brose compares the artifacts from the Summer Island site, especially the ceramics (which he typed), with other Middle Woodland sites around the Great Lakes.
