About This Item
This is Number 5 of the series "Studies in Illinois Archaeology. It is the results of historical archaeology carried out at the site of the first location of Fort de Chartres, a French fort built in 1719-1720 along the Mississippi River. It was replaced by another fort in 1726, so the short occupation makes it a time capsule of early French occupation in the region. Clear photographs and drawings illustrate the findings. The report provides a good introduction to the archaeology of French sites in this part of the Mississippi Valley. Soft cover, in very good shape with minimal wear. Binding tight. Unmarked except for former owner's name stamped on bottom edge and written inside cover.
