| The 2013 combined William Rainey Harper College, Elgin Community College, and McHenry County College summer archaeological field school will once more be working along the Rock River at 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) with assistance by Steven A. Katz, M.A., RPA, and Jay Martinez. |
