The Burnt Bluff area is an archaeological site in Delta County in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. There are hundreds of caves and rock paintings along the cliffs on the southern end of the Garden Peninsula, which reaches southwest into Lake Michigan from the mainland. This report describes the results of archaeological research there in 1963 and 1965. Contributions by James E. Fitting, Charles E. Cleland, G. Richard Peske, Donald E. Janzen, Earl J. Prahl, W. R. Farrand, Douglas W. Lugthart, and Volney H. Jones.

Three Michigan archaeological sites are covered in this report: the Spring Creek site, in Muskegon County; the Springwells Mound Group, in Wayne County; and the Butterfield site, near Lake Huron in Bay County, Michigan.

The Holcombe site, in Macomb County, Michigan, was occupied about 11,000 years ago. At that time, it was situated on the shore of glacial Lake Clinton. In this volume, the authors describe their excavation of this site and the artifacts they found, including thousands of chipped stone tools. They also describe other Paleoindian sites along the ancient Holcombe beach and compare this site with others in the area.

This volume is a collection of reports from the 1950s and 1960s, when the use of radiocarbon dating in archaeology was still very new. Contributors: James E. Fitting, Charles E. Cleland, Lewis R. Binford, Arthur J. Jelinek.

James E. Fitting provides an overview of archaeological material from sites in southeastern Michigan. His primary focus is the Riviere au Vase site (also called the Graham site, the Greene School site, and the Mud Creek site), in Macomb County, which was excavated by Emerson Greenman and others in 1936 and 1937. At this Woodland site, the investigators found burials, ceramic and lithic artifacts, and faunal remains. Fitting also writes about the Fuller sites and the Verchave sites.
