Here is a video showing a closer look at excavations from last field season at Miller Grove and Fort Kaskaskia. Also the video documents a public archaeology demonstration showing students and the public flintknapping, rope making, and how to throw a spear using an atlatl.
Check out the SIUC Field School video from our 2018 field season! This gives a closer glimpse of the work conducted at Fort Kaskaskia- the American fort at Garrison Hill. It also shows our public outreach day in which we partnered with the Lewis and Clark reenactors who set up camp right next to our archaeological excavations of the American fort.
