ISAS helped researchers from the University of California-Santa Barbara and Northern Illinois University conduct a geophysical survey at the Heldenmeyer settlement, which was home to two different cultures, people from historically distinct western and northern Illinois regions. Archaeologists can tell this based on the varieties of broken pottery cookware found on the site’s plow-churned surface. This makes it historically and culturally unique, a place in need of documentation and preservation.
