- Abstract
The Titterington Horizon of western Illinois is comprised of multiple phases, each of which may represent a different contemporary group within this region. The Quad Cities area of Illinois and Iowa was home to one or more groups of these Titterington Horizon peoples who utilized large hafted bifaces that exhibit broad percussion flaking and a low incidence of heat treatment. In this article we offer a general discussion concerning Quad Cities Titterington materials, beginning with a review of the environmental setting of the Quad Cities area, then summarize two recently excavated sites, Billboard Flats (11HY289) and Crosstown Road (11RI69 ), and explore how these contribute to our understanding of the Titterington Horizon of the Prairie Peninsula.
