Description
Summary:	Currently the most extensive early Middle Woodland occupation excavated in the American Bottom, the Petite Michele site represents a substantial multi-season residential camp dating to the latter portion of the early Middle Woodland, Cement Hollow phase. The occupation consists of eighty-six pit features and one ceramic concentration. Archaeobotanical and faunal remains were recovered, and sizable and diagnostic ceramic and lithic assemblages were retrieved from pit and midden contexts. These investigations were conducted from 1992 to 1993 by Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Transportation.
