Archaeology
Archaeologists at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale began a new cycle of research at Kincaid in 2003, using modern methods, including nondestructive geophysical survey, targeted small-scale excavations, and more refined data recovery and analytical techniques. The work has expanded our knowledge of the site, giving us a much better, though still incomplete, understanding of how the site grew and then shrank over time, which mounds were built when, and how extensive the residential zones were.
