The Dampier Site: A Mississippian Market Center
"The Dampier Site: A Mississippian Market Center", will be the topic of a program by Joe Harl, archaeologist and owner of The Archaeological Research Center of St. Louis. The remains of the 1,000 year old market center were discovered near the Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Chesterfield in 2009. Artifacts found in the dig were made of materials found in other areas of North America. Harl calls The Dampier Site: "the original Chesterfield Mall". This free program, sponsored by Old Trails Historical Society, will be at 7:00 pm, Wednesday, March 21, 2012, in the Community Room of the West County EMS and Fire House at 223 Henry Ave., Manchester, MO 63011.
