The Dodge Site is an archaeological site in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Located north of Bowling Green in Wood County,[3] the site was inhabited by Middle Woodland and Upper Mississippian peoples. Among the artifacts discovered at the site are ceramics and stone tools. While only a small portion of the 2.2 acre (0.89 ha) site has been excavated, the artifacts that have been discovered at Dodge have contributed significantly to an understanding of the western basin of Lake Erie around AD 1300.[4]
In 1978, the National Park Service recognized the Dodge Site's archaeological value by listing it on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] Five years later, owners Henry Dodge and his wife donated the site to The Archaeological Conservancy in the interests of preservation.[5]
