Excerpt from The Zimmerman Site: A Report on Excavations at the Grand Village of Kaskaskia, Lasalle County, Illinois Interest in archaeological sites of the historic period has been increasing to the point where every bit of extant information is valuable, and this is especially true of sites that are as noteworthy and well documented as the Zimmerman site. The site, which has been identified with the Kaskaskia villages of La Salle's time, has been the object of one full season's field work by a joint University of Chicago Illinois State Museum expedition in 1947 as well as much testing and collecting over the years.
