Abstract: During the summers of 1980 and 1981, Roger T. Grange, professor of anthropology and archaeology at the University of South Florida, his wife, Jane, and a USF field crew excavated two sites at historic Fort Mackinac, Mackinac Island, Michigan: The Provision Storehouse, and a trench adjacent to the East Blockhouse.
Originally built by the French in 1715 as Old Mackinaw to distinguish it from Ancient Michilimackinac at St. Ignace (Ring and Salkin 1995:351), the fort first had been occupied by the French and then British military forces prior to its relocation to Mackinac Island in 1780 by the British.
