Summary
The July 2010 Beacon reported that Dr. Scott Demel and eleven Northern Michigan University archaeology students spent June examining three Beaver Island sites: the Burke Farm, a beach cabin south of Cable’s Creek, and an old homestead south of Greene’s Bay. The students catalogued a few thousand artifacts and planned to make reports and a future exhibit available locally.
