Description
Kolomoki Mounds Museum in Georgia, photo in 1985: There were 8 mounds at the site, which was constructed 250 -- 600 AD and the population then is thought to have been at least 2000. The photo shows the museum, which was made over an excavated mound. The rocks were used in the mound's construction. The museum was burglarized in 1974 and 129 genuine artifacts were stolen, which has happened at many mound site museums. I know some of you have been there: Is the pile of rocks still there?
