The Utz Site is a Native American archeological site in Saline County, Missouri, located on bluffs overlooking the Missouri River. The site was occupied by the Missouri tribe from c. 15th to the late 18th centuries, and was probably the principal village area occupied by the Missouri Indians at the time of their first contact with Europeans. Utz was noted by French explorers, beginning with Pere Marquette, whose 1673 map placed "Messourit" Indians here.[2]
It is preserved as a part of Van Meter State Park.[3]
