Where: Kansas · approx. 38.62, -95.27 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Marais des Cygnes River, through the city
What turns up: Riverbank dumps and early privies near the crossing: 1870s to 1900 bottles, druggist and soda glass, stoneware, and trade-era small finds tied to the former Ottawa Indian lands and early mills.
Access: Gray area.
Navigability of the Marais des Cygnes here is uncertain, so the streambed may belong to the adjacent landowners rather than the state; obtain the landowner's permission before searching banks or bed. Kansas law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials, which is notable given the area's Native history.
