I'm wondering about where to find literature on specific excavated sites, specifically for MO/IL/KY/AR. I would love to have the Prehistory of Missouri book but I can't justify $300 for that at the moment! I'm sure a lot of this is kept under wraps to make sure nobody loots what may be left of a site, but I'm strictly wanting this information to compare to my sites and to learn. Is there a good place to go to find these resources? I'd love to see the points and other artifacts recovered from sites, but there isn't a whole lot hanging out there on the web. Thanks!

You might look up state archaeological societies for the states in question. They may publish periodic journals. In my area, the Massachusetts Archaeological Society publishes a nice bulletin several times a year. There are also many professional journals. As well as popular educational magazines like Archaeology, but that focuses on the entire world.

Many universities large and small have archaeological departments. Here in Michigan many have done archaeology studies and surveys of numerous counties and entire regions. I have found online hundreds of these published papers. Reports may include details on topography, geology, types of artifacts found and much more information. Local library history collections, local historical societies and local conservation clubs are all a good source of info. Talking with old timers and farmers canโt hurt either. Just remember that most sites mentioned in a published report are most likely protected by local or state laws so do your homework before you do the leg work. Boy, I kinda rambled on there for awhile. Sorry bout that.
