It was excavated in 1960 by Ronald and Carol Mason under the auspices of the Neville Public Museum in Green Bay, Wisconsin, with financial backing from the landowner, Peter Mero.

The main species present were deer, beaver, porcupine, dog, bear, otter, fish (esp.

sturgeon, channel catfish, and smallmouth bass), marten, common loon, fisher and mink.

The Oneota Mero Complex (aka Green Bay focus) is unique due to its high proportion of grit-tempered pottery and the low incidence of decoration.

It is also unique that the site does not have many of the traits usually found in Oneota contexts such as arrow shaft straighteners, smoking pipes, sherd discs, storage pits or evidence of agriculture.
