This site was first described by Theodore H. Lewis in 1895. He identified it
as "east of the river. . . on low ground between the lakes." The site is
situated on the isthmus between Lake Irving and Lake Bemidji.

Even though
much of the site has been buried by the construction of roads, railroad
tracks, and buildings, surveys conducted in 1997 and 1998 have uncovered the remains of
intact prehistoric cultural levels as deep as four feet below the present
ground surface.
