Talk:Grand Village of the Illinois

Zimmerman site edit

I’m preparing a Wikipedia article on the Zimmerman site. This would include the details of the archaeological findings.

Since the Zimmerman site is essentially the same as the Grand Village of the Illini (or Kaskaskia) I’m thinking it’s most appropriate to include the archaeological information on this article, instead of starting a new article. Any thoughts? Thanks! B1deroo (talk) 18:26, 16 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

It would be an honor to have your help on this article! Bigturtle (talk) 23:59, 16 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Bigturtle! I’m preparing some material and will upload over the weekend. B1deroo (talk) 14:50, 17 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Question: Did any of the five Zimmerman bird bone tubes have drill holes or any other evidence that they might have been used as musical instruments? Bigturtle (talk) 02:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Good question! I would say “no” based on the fact that it’s not mentioned in the site report.

I added a few more pictures yesterday and I’m just about done. There’s a few minor edits I still want to make. I’ll probably be making small edits on a continual basis as I add links to other articles. Thanks for letting me contribute to your article!! B1deroo (talk) 15:13, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
