Additional Details:
Students are shown charting a profile wall. Note the dark-stained soil of village Horizon 6. It contrasts sharply with overlying sterile soil deposited by drainage from nearby hillside during long absences of human habitation. More than 11 separate levels, the earliest dating to 5100 B.C., have been discovered by archeologists at the Koster Site near Kampsville, Illinois. Photo by Del Baston
