The Lasanen Site, designated 20MA21, is an archaeological site located in St. Ignace, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[2]
The Lasanen Site is located within the city of St. Ignace, on what was once a beach ridge above the Straits of Mackinac.[3] The site is a burial ground associated with the Iroquois culture.[4] Nineteen small burial pits, located in an area approximately 100 feet (30 m) by 50 feet (15 m),[5] were identified at the site.[3] Five more burial pits were found on adjacent property.[5]
