RESEARCH BULLETIN SERIES
RESEARCH BULLETIN SERIES
Much of the archaeological research
conducted in the Midwest remains unpublished and unavailable to scholars
and the general public. The Sangamo Archaeological Center's Research
Bulletin Series is designed to make new historical archaeological research
accessible to those interested in history, archaeology, and material culture.
The Center supports three bulletins series: the Archival Studies Bulletin,
the Fieldwork and Technical Reports Bulletin, and the Material Culture
Bulletin. The focus of this series is on pre-Civil War archaeological sites
and artifacts, as well as archival documents pertinent to the study of
historical archaeology.
