The 1953 faunal remains from the Central Pit at Modoc Rock Shelter (11R5) were initially identified by Paul W. Parmalee of the Illinois State Museum. In 1980, Karli White and Bonnie Styles (Illinois State Museum) re-examined the 1953 identifications, augmented the identifications, and entered them into a database.

Gastropod remains from the 1956 field season deep excavation in the West Shelter area. Gastropods were recovered via either hand picking or screening through 1/4" (6.4mm) mesh. In 1991, a sample of 1956 strata was chosen by Steven R. Ahler to represent a contiguous cross-section of the 1956 excavations. The gastropod samples from the 1956 excavation were identified and analyzed by James L. Theler (University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse). In 2015, Mona Colburn (Illinois State Museum) entered data...

The 1980 excavations at Modoc Rock Shelter collected an approximately 4 liter sediment sample from each of the major stratigraphic zones exposed in the profiles in the West Shelter for malacological analysis. David Baerreis (University of Wisconsin, Madison) and James Theler (University of Wisconsin, Madison) and identified an analyzed the gastropods recorded in this database.

The database includes gastropods identified and analyzed by James Theler (University of Wisconsin, Madison). The gastropods were recovered in the heavy fraction from flotation samples, usually 15 liters in volume, from Excavation Units C, D, and F from the 1980 excavations in the West Shelter at Modoc Rock Shelter.

This document represents a monitoring plan for a proposed water line installation at Kartchner Caverns State Park. The proposed water line will cut through the southwest corner of an Archaic artifact scatter, AZ EE:3:28 (ASM). Site AZ EE:3:28(ASM) was determined eligible for listing on the NRHP. In consultation with SHPO, a “no adverse” project finding of effect would be appropriate on the condition that an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of Interior standards monitored the construction of...

PROJECT Bonnie Styles.

The Napoleon Hollow site (11PK500) is located in a colluvial fan below the blufftop and in the floodplain adjacent to the lower Illinois River in Pike County, Illinois. The site was excavated in 1979 and 1980 by the Center for American Archeology (Dr. Michael Wiant, Site Director) for the Central Illinois Expressway with funding from the Illinois Department of Transportation. Archaic deposits were encountered in alluvial deposits in the Illinois River and Napoleon Creek floodplains and in...

Test excavations were completed at prehistoric archeological sites 23DA407 and 23DA408. Excavations slated for 23DA83 could not be conducted due to high lake levels and will be undertaken at a later date. These sites are being actively excavated by collectors and are in danger of destruction. Hand excavations included 1 m x 1 m test units and shovel tests. Controlled surface collecting or piece plotting was not undertaken as planned because of the obvious evidence of surface disturbance. 23DA407...
