Welling Site, Archaeological site in Coshocton County, Ohio, US
Located in the Walhonding River Valley at the edge of the Allegheny Plateau, the Welling Site contains numerous stone tools and flint artifacts from prehistoric periods.
Carroll Welling discovered the site in 1963, leading to excavations in 1965 by the Case Institute of Technology that revealed 54 fluted points from the Paleo-Indian period.
The location functioned as a base camp where early inhabitants manufactured tools, processed meat, created implements for hide working, and exchanged knowledge with other groups.
The site contains large quantities of Upper Mercer flint and Vanport flint materials, which prehistoric inhabitants used to create specialized tools for hunting and processing.
Research indicates the site dates between 10,000 and 11,800 BC, making it a critical location for understanding early human migration patterns in northeastern North America.
