Site Type: Museum
Country: United States (The West)

Portland Art Museum submitted by bat400 on 4th Feb 2017. An Anthropomorphic Figure carved from basalt. Columbia River Valley. Pre-European Contact period.
The figure is over four and a half feet tall. From the catalog: "Considering its massive size and the exaggerated genitalia touching the ground, it probably served as a public monument to commemorate an individual either real or mythical, as a symbol of fertility, strength, and renewal."

Cahokia - Mound 42
Trip No.2 Date Added: 9th Apr 2017
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 10th Jul 2007
Cahokia - Mound 42 submitted by bat400 on 10th Jul 2007. Mound 42 was a platform mound directly west of Monk's Mound. Originally there was a smaller, oval second platform on its SW corner. Beyond this well-preserved mound you can make out a low mound partially blocking the view of the Woodhenge reconstruction (where the cars are parked.)
Looming up on the horizon is the East St Louis landfill, a modern testiment to our never ending consumption.
