EXCAVATIONS AT THE LAURENS SITE: PROBABLE LOCATION OF FORT DE CHARTRES I. (Studies in Illinois Archaeology No. 5), edited by Edward B. Jelks, Carl J. Ekberg, and Terrance J.

This study is part of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency's continuing research and management of those French Colonial historic resources. Fort de Chartres I, the first of three forts to bear the name, was constructed in 1719-1720 on the banks of the Mississippi River in what is today Randolph County, Illinois. Centrally located between the major French habitations at Cahokia and Kaskaskia and in the heart of the Illinois Indian settlements, the fort also provided easy access to the lead-mining areas just across the Mississippi River. Fort de Chartres I was replaced by another wooden fort in 1726. Eventually this fort was also replaced in the 1750s by the massive stone Fort de Chartres Ill, which, partially reconstructed, is maintained as a State Historic Site by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. After having been lost for more than two and one-half centuries, Fort de Chartres I re-emerged through a fortunate series of events including clever detective efforts by an amateur archaeologist, the discovery of an aerial photograph clearly showing the fort, soil chemical and magnetic investigations to pinpoint sub-surface anomalies and finally limited archaeological testing. These investigations revealed the presence of two palisade walls, intemal pit features, and numerous eighteenth-century French ceramics, glass, gun parts, and brass buttons. This study reports the historical and archaeological evidence for the long-lost Fort de Chartres I and presents our first glimpse of the material culture and subsistence of this important French Colonial site. This work adds important dimensions to the growing body of historical archaeology of early French Illinois.…
