Bradbury Brook is a small stream in Central Minnesota in the United States. It is a tributary of the Rum River, which drains into the Mississippi.
It also the name of an archaeological procurement area (Smithsonian trinomial: 21ML42) located a few miles south of Mille Lacs Lake along its namesake. Late Paleoindian inhabitants gathered cobbles of siltstone from a streambed or directly from glacial drift. A partially intact stone workshop at this site was dated to 7212 +/- 75 BCE. The siltstone was used to produce a variety of tools, including a stemmed point, other bifaces, keeled scrapers, blades and chipped stone adzes. The workshop also contained several fragmented anvilstones and an abundant sample of hammerstones of various sizes.[1]
Archaeologists working at the site found more than 125,000 artifacts, including stone tools, dating to 7212 BCE, making it the earliest dated excavated site in Minnesota.[2][3]
