The purpose of this page is to highlight the research
activities of Parkland's faculty. As a community college, most faculty do not
engage in research, or focus on classroom research. However, there is a growing
recognition that remaining current in the field may include research,
particularly if students are involved.

Research on archeaological sites in Illinois
"If by history we meaning the recording of
events, then it first begins in August and September of 1730 at
the siege of the Mesquakie Indians (Fox to the Anglos). Our
archaeology program spent several seasons on this site. It is
located between Saybrook and Arrowsmith (about 25 miles
northwest of campus) in extreme eastern McLean County. Here
raged the major conflict of the Second Mesquakie War, a war in
which the French hoped to achieve the extermination of the
Mesquakie Nation. With the killing of 500, the slaving of 300,
and the “burning” of forty warriors, they almost succeeded."
