Chris,
 
Mark Branstner and I co-chaired a session on the lumber industry in the Upper
Great Lakes region at the most recent SHA conference - we are in the process
of publishing the session in the Michigan Archaeologist (hopefully by late
fall or early winter).  The number of lumber camps in the Great Lakes region
that have been formally tested is small (compared to other site types) and
most of the data is in CRM reports. I have included a short list of published
references which relate to Great Lakes region lumber camps.
