Ancient Settlement in Medina County, Ohio.11000 year old site, most likely a meeting area for Paleo Americans. Post holes and pits dating to 8,200 years ago, indicate some settlement at the site.
The materials used of the tools (including Clovis points) found at the site show little from local sources and substantial amounts of material from Wyandotte chert, This has prompted speculation that these early settlers in Ohio came into the area from the Ohio River Valley to the west and south. Note: The location given is general and does not reflect any specific feature. The site is believed to be on private property. Access to the public is not available.
