Description: "Preliminary survey and excavation upon a British colonial farm site (20EM57) in Emmet County, Michigan, suggest that the remains of the John Askin Farm, hitherto known from historic documents only, has been found. Limestone masonry architecture is associated with a lone colonial component at the site. Intersite comparisons demonstrate that the farm was contemporaneous with the late British occupation of nearby Fort Michilimackinac (1774-1781) and was occupied by someone of wealth and privilege. The artifact assemblage is at variance with the Carolina and Frontier patterns generally associated with British settlements in North American [sic], but is remarkably similar to a "deviant" pattern known from British occupation of the Hepburn-Reonalds House in Brunswick Town, North Carolina."
