Descriere

Mounds and earthworks are the most conspicuous elements of prehistoric Native American culture to be found on the landscape of eastern North America. This revised text identifies and describes 70 extant, publicly accessible sites in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia, where mounds were constructed by Woodland people beginning some 3000 years ago. This volume also reviews the culture, history and geography of the Woodland mound-building groups and the fate of their structures during the historic period. Sources of additional information about the Woodland mound-building groups are provided, as is access information for the mound and earthworks sites.
