The Wycamp Creek Site (designated 20EM4)^[2] is an archaeological site located near Levering, Michigan. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.^[1]

The Wycamp Creek Site is located in a small dune field near Lake Michigan, on a Nipissing terrace near Wycamp Creek.^[3]

It is likely this site was occupied more or less continuously throughout the Late Middle and Late Woodland period. It was first identified by archaeologists in a 1927 survey done by Emerson F. Greenman.^[4] In 1967, a small section of the site was excavated by a team from Michigan State University led by Charles E. Cleland. Radiocarbon dating from the site brackets the period of occupation from about 1320 to 400 years before the present.^[3] The material found at the site provides information on techniques used to make stone tools.^[5]
