Talk by Richie Rosencrance (Archaeologist and volunteer at the Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex)
Located south of Huttonsville in Randolph county, the Hyre Mound dates to the Middle Woodland Period 300 BC – AD 600, specifically to the Armstrong culture (1-500 A.C.E.) It was excavated in 1963 by Bettye Broyles, but little about it has been studied until now. The mound is being rediscovered by using artifacts and records found at the GCMAC collection as well as a first-hand account from the local farmer who helped with the excavations
