Oelsner Indian Mound
Oelsner Indian Mound submitted by AKFisher : Photo credit Gregory L. Little Ed.D. Oelsner Mound in Port Richey, Florida. It was made around AD 1000 and was a temple mound. Nearby was a conical burial mound that was excavated in 1903 by C. B. Moore and later obliterated by housing developers. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Artificial Mound in The South

From Historic Marker on site:
"This Indian mound is all that remains of a late Weeden Island period community, probably settled about A.D. 1000 and inhabited for several hundred years. Excavations conducted in 1879 by S.T. Walker for the Smithsonian Institution indicated this was a temple mound. A nearby burial mound, excavated in 1903 by Clarence B. Moore, was subsequently destroyed by developers along with other remnants of the prehistoric community. This mound was preserved by its owner, the late "Aunt" Martha Oelsner, who believed it also contained Timuqua or Calusa Indian graves."
