In my state of Michigan, in the 1920s, in Weare township of Oceana County, a farmer was clearing a field for crops to ne grown. When pulling out one tree stump with a team.of horses, skeletons emerhed with skulls, entwined in the roots. The Indian bodies had some flesh and hair remaing on rhe heads due to hammered copper tubes being used as hair decorations. The bacteriocidal nature of the oxidizing copper in the ground helped preserve some tissues.
Uof Michigan explored it and 20 odd bodies were found and numerous artifacts. I’d love to look for more but it is private land and being farmed.
A friend of mine has one of the most extensive private collections of copper culture artifacts. I have seen them. Guesstimating he has a few hundred.
