The Rubicon Site, Huron County, Michigan (1966)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Edward J. Wahla.

Article on summary of study conducted at the Rubicon Site in Huron County, Michigan. The combination of Late Archaic elements with traits which later became quite common in Middle Woodland times suggests a possible Transitional Archaic or Early Woodland placement. This would be further born out by a similar stone tool assemblage at the early levels at the Schultz site in Saginaw which has been radiocarbon dated to the sixth century B.C.
