  16. Acknowledgments First and foremost I would like to thank all of my teachers. I would like to thank Dr. Julie Holt for all her help and guidance throughout my time at SIUE. I would like to think Michele Lorenzini for her expertise in Historic archaeology, maps, and artifact analysis. Thanks to Dr. Vogel for all of his help. Thanks to my family for all their support throughout my college career. A last but not least thanks to all my field school partners who put in long hours and hard work collecting artifacts and excavating the site. Thanks to all my fellow students who made the lab an entertaining place to be. Without all of these wonderful people my project would not have been possible. “Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other” A.Lincoln
