Keweenaw Copper Mines Reveal Ancient Workings Across Centuries
The Keweenaw peninsula hosts an extensive ancient copper mining region with pits, scaffolding, and massive copper blocks unearthed at depths up to fifty feet. Ancient workers, likely skilled in cold hammering, used fire to loosen rock but did not smelt copper. Some finds include a forty six ton copper mass and a six ton mass raised from its native bed, with trenches and trees overtaking former workings. The piece also notes English height averages and global comparisons, alongside stray, garbled lines on labor, oysters, and law.
