Brass Trade Ring Found at Colonial Michilimackinac
MACKINAW CITY, MICHIGAN—Up North Live ABC reports that an eighteenth-century brass trade ring has been unearthed at Colonial Michilimackinac, a reconstruction of a fort and trading village built by the French on the site in the late seventeenth century. “Although these rings are sometimes referred to as ‘Jesuit Rings,’ by the eighteenth century they were strictly secular trade goods,” said Lynn Evans, Curator of Archaeology for Mackinac State Historic Park. The British took control of Fort Michilimackinac in 1761, following the French and Indian War. Evans explained that the ring was discovered in demolition rubble dated to 1781, when Fort Michilimackinac was burned and moved to Mackinac Island.
