Serpent Mound, Ohio submitted by bat400 on 27th May 2006. Serpent Mound, Adams County, Ohio.
View looking toward the serpent "tail" which curls into a tight spiral. This view is to the west and taken from ground level. Note the size by the three figures walking between the coils of the tail. The horizontal line just above and beyond the mound is a guard rail installed to prevent people from falling down the steep face of the hillside and into Brush Creek below.

Angel Mounds - Mound A
Date Added: 12th Sep 2010
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jun 2006
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.

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!

Russell Cave submitted by bat400 on 30th Jul 2006. Occupied for 9000 years. The twin entrances to Russell Cave, Jackson County, Alabama. The large entrance shelter is at right; a boardwalk prevents erosion and damage. A portion of the sheltered area was excavated to a depth of 40 feet, showing artifacts from human use all the way down. Dry Creek runs into the entrance at left, and showing the current stream bed to be a good 20 feet lower than the current cave floor in the sheltered, dry area. Photo by bat400, July 13, 2006

Tusayan Ruins submitted by bat400 on 6th Aug 2006. Large Kiva at Tusayan Ruins, Coconino County, Arizona.
The Tusayan ruins at the Grand Canyon National Park show two separate circular ruins that may have been ceremonial rooms, or Kivas. The smaller one appeared to have burned, was made into some other sort of space. This is the foundation of the larger Kiva, seemingly built later that the first.
There was a firepit in the center of the room and an airshaft (seen in the rear wall.) This is a common feature of both historic Kivas, and simi...
