Poverty Point
Date Added: 28th Apr 2017
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: United States (The South)
Visited: Yes on 4th Sep 2012
Poverty Point submitted by bat400 on 4th Sep 2012. The "Poverty Point Objects" (PPOs). These fired earthen balls and cubes are unique to the Poverty Point culture. These on display in the park museum are decorated, although many are plain. There is a lot of speculation on what purpose they served, but a general opinion is that they were heated used for earth oven cooking, the area lacks stones more generally used for similar purposes at other sites and called "fire cracked rock" (FCR).
