time period could be established for the
human remains. No known individuals
were identified. The 1 associated
funerary object present is 1 lot of turtle

History and Description of the Remains
In 1958, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from the GL–1279 site (20SC7)
in St. Clair County, MI. An amateur
collector removed the human remains of
a child from an area near Gratiot
Avenue, along Lake Huron, near the
start of the St. Clair River. The
collections were later donated to the
UMMAA on January 19, 1959. UMMAA
records note that the GL–1279 (20SC7)
site is part of the northern edge of the
20SC8 site, which consists of 21

along the St. Clair River. The 20SC8 site
has been dated to the Woodland Period
(850 B.C.–A.D. 1400). Given the

Woodland Period. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
