Dodge Site

Located north of Bowling Green in Wood County,[3] the site was inhabited by Middle Woodland and Upper Mississippian peoples.

While only a small portion of the 2.2 acre (0.89 ha) site has been excavated, the artifacts that have been discovered at Dodge have contributed significantly to an understanding of the western basin of Lake Erie around AD 1300.

The excavations also revealed the intensity of occupation: the Middle Woodland layer was substantially larger than the exceptionally thin Upper Mississippian component.

[1] Five years later, owners Henry Dodge and his wife donated the site to The Archaeological Conservancy in the interests of preservation.
