Ancient history didn't just happen in far off places like Rome or Athens. It happened all across St. Louis, probably in your own backyard. For decades Chesterfield, Missouri has been the focus of professional archaeological research. Did you know that mastodon era hunters camped on a hillside near Faust Park? Did you know the largest surviving burial mound in St. Louis County is located in Chesterfield? Did you hear about the massive 1,000 year old market center that was recently excavated in the Chesterfield Valley? "Chesterfield's Ancient Past" expands on the earlier book, "A Guide to Chesterfield's Ancient History," which is no longer in print. 100% of profits from the sale of this book will be donated to local archaeology related nonprofit organizations. YOU WILL NEVER SEE YOUR HOMETOWN THE SAME WAY AGAIN
