16 Mounds in Illinois
1994-1996
I had traveled throughout Illinois to visit well-known sites (generally found to contain Native American remains), obscure sites as identified in the Illinois Archaeological Survey (1958-1962), and numerous unexcavated, suspected Indian mounds.
Major sites have been preserved and recognized as historic places, although most sites over the years have been integrated into or completely erased by modern development. Many sites are isolated on private property.
