The Yellowbush Creek Camp site is a Late Archaic encampment located on a terrace at the confluence of Yellowbush Creek and the Ohio River near Racine, Ohio. The large sized site may represent either an aggregated base camp or constitute continued reuse of the landform by a series of smaller occupations over time. The dominant component of the site is a Maple Creek Phase deposit dating between 1900 and 1270 B.C. This article summarizes the analysis of the lithic and ceramic assemblages, faunal and floral data, radiocarbon dates, and site structure. The results obtained at Yellowbush Creek Camp are then placed in a wider context of how it contributes to the Maple Creek Phase in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky
