Learning to Squeeze the Data: Fifteen Years of Archaeological Research within the Grand Island National Recreation Area

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Method and Theory: Papers in Honor of James M. Skibo, Part II" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

From 2001 until 2015, the Hiawatha National Forest partnered with Illinois State University (ISU) to host a public archaeology program named the Grand Island Archaeological Project. The project involved an archaeological field school operated through ISU, a Youth Archaeology Workshop, and public interpretation and outreach programs. The project was directed by Dr. James Skibo of ISU and Forest Service Archaeologist, Eric Drake. This paper will review the work conducted over this 15 year period, highlight the major findings and accomplishments, and reflect upon the questions that drove the research.
