| The 2012 the combined William Rainey Harper College and Elgin Community College summer archaeological field school will once more be working along the Rock River on the Macktown National Historic Site in the Macktown Forest Preserve just south of Rockton, Illinois. We will be excavating at the site of the William Shores house built about 1842. This will be our fourth field season at the William Shores house, and we will encounter both historic and prehistoric artifacts that date from about 8,000 years ago to the time of European settlement. The Excavation will be led by Dr. Rochelle Lurie (Principal Investigator) and Steven A. Katz, M.A. (Field Director). |
