Archaeologists at Fort Michilimackinac uncovered a unique artifact from an archaeological site over the holiday weekend: a pocket knife found in the root cellar of a fur trader’s house.
Dr. Lynn Evans is the curator of archaeology for Mackinac State Historic Parks.
“We’re excavating a fur traders house and it has two root cellars and by the posts of one of the root cellars we found a pocket knife, at the time they were known as clasp knives. And that s very exciting because we rarely find things that are whole and intact,” she said.
