Above is shown a miniature reproduction (five feet to the inch) of the "second stockade" that was built by ancient Indians 10 miles northeast of Imlay City, in Lapeer county. The outline of this enclosure, with a larger similar one nearby, was unearthed by Dr. Emerson F. Greenman, heading a University of Michigan expedition that excavated extensively on the Roy Younge farm last summer. Each of the twigs used in the miniature represents one of the saplings that comprised the enclosure. The picture is taken from the west end.

The Patera or shallow saucer engraved in the gable is known as a libation saucer used for offerings of wines or other liquids to the gods.
