6,500 Years in a Michigan Lake's Toaster

Skegemog Point, it ain't your normal Point. Labeled on the National Register of Historic Places, it's got more skeletons than a family reunion. Its peculiarity? Layers, horizontal ones, which ain't the normal situation. This happens thanks to a geological oddity called glacial rebound, making the underlining limestone rise, altering the scenery bit by bit. The oldest ones are far from the lakeshore, dating back to around 10,000 BCE. The second one? Closer to the shore, from perhaps 3000 BCE. The youngest? That's right at the shore, from around 900-1200 AD. The Late Woodland section, which houses the youngest, boasts at least 26 hearth areas, charcoal, pottery fragments, bone pieces, and seeds. So, don't get too comfortable. At Lake Skegemog's Point, history's always rising.
