2010 Mississippian Field School in West-Central Illinois
jjwilson
A six-week IUPUI Department of Anthropology field school will investigate the habitation area of the late prehistoric site known as the Lawrenz Gun Club (LGC; 11Cs4). The site, a probable regional center during the Mississippian period, is located in the central Illinois River valley of west-central Illinois, approximately 9 km northeast of the city of Beardstown. The excavations will be directed by Dr. Jeremy Wilson (IUPUI) with the co-operation and support of Dr. Patricia Anderson from Western Illinois University.
Fieldwork training will be supplemented with intensive evening lectures that provide essential information on the cultural-historical background of the region, research design and implementation, field and laboratory methods, and the relationship between “data” and interpretation. Field trips to several prominent sites in the area have also been planned.
