First and foremost I would like to thank all of my teachers. I would
like to thank Dr. Julie Holt for all her help and guidance throughout my
time at SIUE. I would like to think Michele Lorenzini for her expertise
in Historic archaeology, maps, and artifact analysis. Thanks to Dr.
Vogel for all of his help. Thanks to my family for all their support
throughout my college career. A last but not least thanks to all my
field school partners who put in long hours and hard work collecting
artifacts and excavating the site. Thanks to all my fellow students
who made the lab an entertaining place to be. Without all of these
wonderful people my project would not have been possible.
