Illinois Transportation Archaeological Research Program: Research

ITARP, as a joint UIUC-IDOT program, is actively involved in the archaeology of Illinois doing hundreds of archaeological surveys and dozens of excavations each year. These activities allow the efficient planning and construction of the state's transportation network. The new information gathered as part of this process also have made major contributions to our understanding of Illinois archaeology. ITARP personnel disseminate the results of this research through publications such as articles and books, conference papers and public lectures, school presentations, and museum and interpretive displays.
