Also, I believe the National Trust sectioned a historic road at Montpelier, Virginia.

Hi Folks,
I am forwarding this question from one of our University of Illinois graduate students. If anyone has relevant information, please respond directly to HISTARCH, and I will make sure that they are forwarded to Jacob. I am assuming that the answer will be of interest to others on the list.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
Hi Mark,
This is Jacob Skousen, one of Tim Pauketat's grad students. I'm doing my dissertation fieldwork at the Emerald Mound site in southern Illinois, and am excavating what I had hoped would be a pre-Colombian road that converges at the site. While there is definitely a roadway, the profiles suggest that the road may be historic, possibly a wagon road or trail. Do you know of anybody who has cut and profiled a historic roadway? It would be nice to have something to compare my profile to. My searches in Plains Anthropologist and several other journals haven't yielded anything so far, so I thought I'd check with you.
Thanks!
Jacob
