The Ponshewaing Point Site (designated 20EM18) is an archaeological site located on Ponshewaing Point in Crooked Lake in Emmet County, Michigan.^[3] It was places on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.^[1]

This site was in use approximately AD 800 - 1500, covering several Middle and Late Woodland period occupations.^[4] "Ponshewaing" (or "Pon-she-waing") is typically translated as "winter home," which may indicate a year-round occupation.^[4]

Test excavations were completed at the Ponshewaing Point Site in 1966–67. The site was more intensively excavated by researchers from Michigan State University in 1970.^[3] Excavations revealed multiple components, including four basic pit types. Post mold shapes indicate two distinct dwellings.^[4]
