Aztalan State Park
Date Added: 31st Mar 2013
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jul 2010. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Aztalan State Park submitted by bat400 on 31st Mar 2013. The largest mound at Aztalan is a "stepped" pyramidal structure in the southwest corner of the stockade surround.
This is a partial reconstruction of the site as found in the early 1800's. By the 1920's there had been substantial plowing of the site and significant damage by "pot hunters" and those simply "quarrying" the mounds for fill dirt and the remains of burnt wattle and daub from the original stockade.

Log Text: A Cahokia in miniature. Site interpretation is quite good considering that the park is not monitored for much of its opening times (basically dawn to dusk, daily.) At the parking area, a brief guide to the site is available at an honesty box. Placards around the site describe the ruins and reconstructions visible, as well as archaeological findings.
When I visited (late in the day on a Sunday) the small museum was unmanned.

Angel Mounds Museum

Angel Mounds Museum submitted by bat400 on 24th Jun 2006. Angel Mounds Historical Site Museum and Visitor's Center.
A view of the exterior. Directly behind the museum building is the footbridge to the large town site.
The building includes the museum, gift shop, WCs, and all you'd expect. But in a twist there are meeting rooms and a kitchen you can rent. Have your wedding and reception at a prehistoric site? You can do it!

Angel Mounds - Mound A submitted by bat400 on 22nd Jun 2006. Mound A, the "Chief's" Mound, at Angel Mounds, Vanderburgh County, Indiana.
This view is from the south west. Stairs have been installed to allow a visitor to climb to the top of the mound while still preventing errosion. The main excavation at Angel was done by Glenn Black in the 1930's and 40's. He felt that differences in vegetation indicated that a wooden stairway had once existed in the mound on this face.

Log Text: The site is generally covered in unmowed grasses which makes for some small difficulty walking with uneven ground and loose stones underfoot. There is a very obvious oval on high ground (the acropolis?) with a wall, much broken, on it southern border. At the north border, you overlook the valley where the famous battle against the Persians took place At this northern point someone has set a modern column and a small metal shrine (which is empty).
The much better defined wall of larger, more intact stoves, on a NW - SE line, south of the oval described above. It crosses the main road east of the modern town, and is marked there with the typical "Archaeological Site" brown and yellow sign. This wall is very large and shows several towers in the fortification. I'm uncertain if this separate wall dates from the 5th Century BC, or is a later addition, perhaps when Phillip of Macedon is credited with refounding the previously destroyed city.
