Thank you for visiting the web site of the Center for American Archeology! For over fifty years, the CAA has offered award-winning research and educational programs for archeology enthusiasts, professionals-in-training, and for those who have a general interest in the fascinating prehistoric communities who once lived along the banks of the Illinois River. From our early years at the famous Koster Site to our current innovative research program at the Mound House site, we strive to fulfill our mission by supporting integrated programs of archeological investigation, educational outreach, and cultural stewardship.

As prospective students, professional colleagues, participating schools, alumni, donors, and members of the general public, you play an essential role in our organization's mission. I encourage you to join the Center as we explore the dynamic cultural history and natural environment of the Illinois River. Come experience the excitement of discovery! --Dr. Jane Buikstra, President
