Larch

• The Houghton Low Stage of the Lake Superior

• Mid Holocene wetland forest

This farm is located west of the city of Kenosha and only 1.4 km north of the Paris Farms site. Local archaeologist Dave Wasion helped guide us to the site. We excavated about 20 specimens of young stems and roots of larch from the peat with a number of tree rings ranging from 17 to 55. The wood is dated ca. 7700-7950 Cal Yrs BP.

• Shorelines of postglacial Chicago Lake
