The Ohio Trap Rock Site is a mid-19th century copper mine in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Archaeological excavations at the company's stamp mill uncovered portions of the crushing and washing system where copper was concentrated. Residual copper in the stamp-sand sediments preserved buried wooden components of the mill to an exceptional degree, including the remains of two Cornishstyle, circular, convex wooden buddles. Circular buddles were the leading edge of ore dressing technology in the 1850s. This technology was not well known in North America, and the Ohio Trap Rock mine provides insight into the diffusion of Cornish copper-processing technology. [1999 Norton Prize winner]
