      abstract = {"Archaeological sites throughout southern Illinois provide  a chronicle of change, of the varying ways people have  lived in that area over the past 10,000 years. One of the  richest and most environmentally diverse sites (low  uplands, lakes, swamps, the Saline River, the Shawnee  Hills) in southern Illinois is lo­cated approximately  two miles south of Carrier Mills. This book focuses on the  results of a five-year archaeological investigation at  three sites located in a 143-acre area known as the Carrier  Mills Archaeo­logical District. This area, rich in  archaeological treasures and keys to the prehistoric people  of southern Illinois, is also coal mining territory. In  cooperation with Peabody Coal Company, archaeologists in  this study have sought to learn the ages of the various  prehistoric occupations represented at the sites; to better  un­derstand the technology and social organization of  these prehistoric people; to better understand the  environment; to collect information about diet, health, and  physical characteristics of the prehistoric inhabitants;  and to investigate the remains of the 19th-century Lakeview  settlement"--},
