Those invested in archeological excavations and preserving history attended the Chesterfield City Council meeting May 15 to address concerns about future development.
Mark Leach, a founding member of the Chesterfield Historic and Landmark Preservation Committee, questioned the city about the efforts to protect Native American sites.
Leach served as the coordinator of Chesterfield’s Blake Mound and Cave site, where he spearheaded the restoration of 100 years of grave-robbing damage. Both the Blake Mound and Cave Site and the Dampier Site are Native American burial sites.
