The McQueen Shell Ring is a Late Archaic archaeological site off the coast of Georgia, notable for its surplus of copper artifacts recovered during multiple excavations.[1] This Late Archaic Occupation, constructed between 2300 and 1800 cal. B.C., is marked by radiocarbon dates from artifacts found at the site.[1] Notable excavation findings include a conical pit, sheet copper, and calcined human and animal bones.[1] The McQueen Shell Ring is part of a network of ring buildings where Native Americans created significant deposits of shells derived from oysters and clams.[1] These shell networks, believed to be villages, ritual gathering points, and having multiple uses over time, date back to the Late Archaic period.[1] The copper artifacts have been meticulously analyzed[2] at the Elemental Analysis Facility at the Chicago Field Museum of Natural History.[1]
