Mitchell Archaeological Site
Mitchell Archaeological Site, Archaeological site in Mitchell, US.
The Mitchell Archaeological Site contains a platform mound and village remains spread across 22.6 acres of land in Madison County, Illinois.
Native American communities of the Mississippian culture inhabited this settlement between 1150 and 1200, making it the second largest site in the Cahokia system.
Archaeological excavations at the Mitchell site revealed patterns of ancient settlement construction and agricultural practices through discovered tools and structural remains.
The site operates Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM until November 15, with winter visits available by appointment only.
Interstate 270 construction led to emergency excavations that provided substantial data about the ancient settlement before substantial portions were lost.
