Unbeknownst to most people, lots of archaeology goes on in Illinois all the time. Visit some excavation sites and drop in on the lab where the archaeologists organize, catalog and interpret what they find. The Illinois Archaeological Survey produced this video to explain the how and why of Illinois archaeology – through visits to several excavation sites, including Macktown Living History in Rockton, Crenshaw House near Equality, East St. Louis, and Edwardsville.
