The Lily Lake site was found by an archeological survey party south of Cahokia, St. Clair County, Illinois, in an area where the Army Corps of Engineers is constructing a 90+ acre dry detention basin. Excavation at the site in 1974 indicated an occupation between 100 B.C. and A.D. 900. Several pits and a pit house structure were excavated. Organic materials recovered suggest intense cultivation and collection of natural vegetation. It is the first Middle Woodland Period site (100 B.C. to A.D. 400) excavated in the American Bottomlands.
