The Archaeology of Carrier Mills
10,000 Years in the Saline Valley of Illinois
By Richard W. Jeffries
This book is a chronicle of change, of he varying ways people lived in southern Illinois over the past 10,000 years. The tools, artifacts, and bits of pottery these ancient people left behind provide the next best thing to a written account.
Jeffries describes the results of the five-year Carrier Mills Archaeological Project, which consisted of the excavation of three large and complex archaeological sites located along the south fork of the Saline River in Saline County, Illinois. Excavation of these sites disclosed prehistoric cultural remains dating from 8,000 B.C. to A.D. 1400. Archaeologists also identified a mid-nineteenth-century historic occupation attributable to the earliest black settlement in this part of southern Illinois. Illustrated with B/W photos and maps.
