Digging Up Controversy: The Michigan Relics
It all began in the early 1890s with an unusual discovery in Montcalm County: a small clay cup decorated with strange symbols. Over the next 30 years, thousands of clay, slate, copper and stone artifacts were unearthed in locations scattered around the state. Front page newspaper articles fueled the debate: Were these "Michigan Relics" fakes or were they evidence of an ancient migration from the Near East to Michigan?
