<p>The detailed analysis and full interpretation of the thousands of features and well over a million artifacts recovered from the ISAS-IDOT excavations in the East St. Louis Precinct will be a decades-long process and will require the ongoing efforts of numerous archaeologists and specialists. Yet the sheer magnitude of the excavations and the unique discoveries required that we make the basic synopsis of the excavation results available both to Eastern Woodlands scholars interested in the development of regional complexity and colleagues interested in early urbanization on an international scale. It is also important that these amazing discoveries be made available to the general public. Even if that extensive data is presented here in a summary fashion, these chapters are built on a foundation of data-rich volumes. We are hopeful that the information and insights presented in this volume will help demonstrate the cultural significance of Greater Cahokia in general and ancient East St. Louis in particular and, in turn, will foster greater appreciation and further preservation. REVIEW: These monographs are incredibly rich in detail and data, and true exemplars of the most significant products of our profession. These type of reports, with their well curated collections, will be used for centuries. ---David Anderson, University of Tennessee</p>
