April 16, 2021 MACOMB, IL- Western Illinois University s (WIU) Archaeological Field School will resume excavations at the Orendorf prehistoric archaeological site in Fulton County. Through the Anthropology program at WIU, Field School students will have an opportunity to participate in the excavation of an unusual multi-component site this summer.
The Orendorf site is a world-renowned Mississippian village and mound group located on a bluff top, overlooking the central Illinois river valley. It has been the site of numerous WIU excavations since the 1970s, and is made up of at least four settlement sites, which resulted from the relocation of the village several times over more than 150 years.
