The site, which consisted of four small mounds on the south floodplain of Cypress Creek, was located and recorded by E. Mott Davis and Bernard Golden in October, 1957. It promised to produce valuable archeological data, and since it was scheduled to be completely submerged by Ferrell's Bridge Reservoir in the summer of 1959, immediate steps were taken to provide for salvage excavations prior to its inundation. In December, 1957, a National Park Service field party excavated the smallest of the four mounds, Mound A. A single extended burial containing two pottery vessels and an arrow point, was found in a shallow grave beneath the mound. It appeared that Mound A had been erected for the purpose of covering the burial. While Mound A was being excavated, the entire site was mapped, several trenches and test pits were dug in the floodplain of Cypress Creek near Mound A, and some of the trees and bushes were cleared from the other three mounds. In September, 1958, under terms of a co-operative agreement between The University of Texas and the National Park Service, a crew of the Texas Archeological Salvage Project returned to Harroun to complete the investigation of the site. Because of time limitations it was apparent that all three of the remaining mounds (B, C, and D) could not be entirely excavated. Therefore, it was decided to concentrate on Mound C since it appeared superficially to be the least disturbed of the three. After excavation of Mound C was well under way, a portion of the crew was moved to Mound B and it was also opened. Both mounds were found to contain burned remains of house structures.…

[From the introduction]: In the 1850s a chain of forts was established by the United States Army along the main road between San Antonio TX and Santa Fe NM. Regular travel over the road had begun in the late 1840s when the close of the Mexican war paved the way for Anglo American settlement of the far Southwest. Then, after the opening of the California goldfields in 1849, traffic on the San Antonio - Santa Fe Rd became so brisk that the army was called on to protect the travelers from the Apaches, Comanches, and other Indians that frequented the area. Fort Lancaster was one of the forts designed to provide that protection. Situated in the Pecos River Valley in present day Crockett County, Texas, this military outpost was established in 1855 and was abandoned by its federal garrison at the beginning of the civil war in 1861.…

The wraps are in near fine condition. 9 x 6, 136 pages, 14 ounces XX [From the back cover] The Laurens site lies near the southern end of the extensive French Colonial Historic District, which includes a number of early French Colonial and historic Indian sites in southwestern Illinois. This study is part of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency's continuing research and management of those French Colonial historic resources. Fort de Chartres I, the first of three forts to bear the name, was constructed in 1719-1720 on the banks of the Mississippi River in what is today Randolph County, Illinois. Centrally located between the major French habitations at Cahokia and Kaskaskia and in the heart of the Illinois Indian settlements, the fort also provided easy access to the lead-mining areas just across the Mississippi River. Fort de Chartres I was replaced by another wooden fort in 1726. Eventually this fort was also replaced in the 1750s by the massive stone Fort de Chartres Ill, which, partially reconstructed, is maintained as a State Historic Site by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. After having been lost for more than two and one-half centuries, Fort de Chartres I re-emerged through a fortunate series of events including clever detective efforts by an amateur archaeologist, the discovery of an aerial photograph clearly showing the fort, soil chemical and magnetic investigations to pinpoint sub-surface anomalies and finally limited archaeological testing. These investigations revealed the presence of two palisade walls, intemal pit features, and numerous eighteenth-century French ceramics, glass, gun parts, and brass buttons. This study reports the historical and archaeological evidence for the long-lost Fort de Chartres I and presents our first glimpse of the material culture and subsistence of this important French Colonial site. This work adds important dimensions to the growing body of historical archaeology of early French Illinois. Inscribed by Author(s).…
