Artificial Mound in United States
Thomson IL Causeway Recreational Area. A small mound along the beautiful Mississippi waters edge in the A sign posted here reads:
Woodland Indian Mound: Archeological investigations made in 1980 have discovered that the remnants of this mound are associated with three early native American cultures:
Early Woodland 400-50 B.C.
Middle Woodland 100 B.C.
Late Woodland 800-900 A.D.
The discovery also revealed that the mound was first constructed in 100 B.C. and rebuild around 800 A.D. Evidence indicates that the three cultures involved lived around the water's edge of this area which was at that time, a backwater slough. This civilization was mainly a hunter-gatherer type culture that lived on the river fish, shellfish, as well as large and small mammals from the eastward upland forest. It appears that their lifestyle was of a reclusive sort with very little trading and no agricultural base.
