Thornhill is an archaeological and historical site listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.The archaeological research at Thornhill was made with the cooperation and permission of the St. Louis County Park Department. Several classes of Washington University undergraduate and graduate students were trained in archaeological fieldwork methods at the Thornhill. This website was developed for use by St. Louis Community College students enrolled in Missouri Archaeology and the citizens of Chesterfield, MO.
This website is based upon Thornhill: An Emergent Mississippian Farmstead in St. Louis County by Neathery Batsell (Fuller) submitted as her Masters Thesis to the Department of Anthropology, Washington University, during 1985. The text was adapted for the web by Professor Michael Fuller (SLCC). The website architecture was constructed by Adjunct Professor Neathery B. Fuller (SLCC).
