description: The Scott Project, directed by the Office of Contract Archaeology, Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation, was initiated during 1988 in response to the planned construction of a civilian air cargo facility that is to operate jointly with the present Scott Air Force Base. The project area, located in southwestern Illinois in southeastern St. Clair county, encompasses nearly 4,000 acres. The projected expansion area encompasses a range of environmental and physiographic zones extending from the bottomlands of Silver Creek to the adjacent uplands. This area served as a background for a multitude of prehistoric groups for more than 11,000 years.
