Readings
in Illinois Archaeology
This
list of readings has been compiled with two things in mind. First, we
have selected articles and books that are generally available to the
public. A few of these readings were written for a public audience,
but most have been written in a more technical style. The sections of
the reading list follow the culture history and regional divisions presented
in the previous issue of Illinois Antiquity, Vol. 35, No. 3, Discover
Illinois Archaeology. Second, we have intentionally selected compendiums
of specific subjects with the idea that they contain extensive bibliographies
that will direct the reader to numerous other sources.
By
a recent count, more than 10,000 technical reports, articles, and monographs
have been written on Illinois archaeology, and there are probably triple
that number of unpublished papers on the subject. We hope this list
will provide a place to begin your continued discovery of Illinois archaeology.
