Summary:

"This volume represents the research report for archaeological investigations implemented at the Deer Shed Bluff (11R932) site, in Chester, Illinois, by the Illinois State Archaeological Survey. Testing and excavations were conducted between March 2018 and May 2019 for the Illinois Department of Transportation prior to the proposed construction of a new Mississippi River bridge. The initial examination of the site consisted of a series of shovel tests and hand units. Eventually, a single excavation block (EB1) was opened revealing historic subsurface features, including 5 pits, 2 basins, a pit cellar, and the foundation of a brick fireplace. From these 9 features, over 15,000 artifacts were recovered. Beyond compliance-driven analysis and description, research themes examined below include the archaeological visibility of special-function sites; the history and culture of the rural tavern; regional ceramic smoking-pipe manufacture; and a comparison of the presence of ceramic smoking pipes at this proposed special-function site with that at coeval domestic sites"-- Provided by publisher.
