Investigations at a Probable 1820s Potawatomi Homestead in the Spoon River Valley of West-Central Illinois

Abstract

During 2013, the Illinois State Archaeological Survey conducted survey and limited test excavations at Buckman Flats (11 KX271), an Historic Indian site along the Spoon River of western Illinois. A substantial metal assemblage was recovered, including gun parts, ammunition, projectile points, jewelry, clothing ornaments, and scrap pieces, as well as a smaller number of stone and glass artifacts. Relying primarily on archival information, we suggest the site is likely affiliated with the Potawatomi and dates to the 1820s.
