One of the most significant archaeological sites in the St. Louis area is the Dampier Site (23SL2296); it
is situated in the floodplain of the municipality of Chesterfield, Missouri. Pottery and projectile point types found at the site would indicate that it was occupied during the
Stirling Phase (ca. AD 1100 to 1200) in terms of the chronology at Cahokia Mounds.
This website is designed for use by school children, amateur archaeologists and professional archaeologists.
