Log Text: Tremper Mound is now open to the public with outdoor museum quality kiosks explaining the site's importance both as a natural and cultural site. The site was purchased by the Arc of Appalachia organization over several years by buying separate parcels. Fences around and over the mound and enclosure itself have been removed. The nearby Pond Creek trail is easily accessible.
Study of the site after purchase revealed that a small portion of the enclosure surrounding the mound still exists (much reduced in height) and mowing of vegetation highlights both the extend of the mound and enclosure.
Visitors may visit during daylight hours with parking in a graveled lot off of State Road 73 on the east side of the site.

Tusayan Ruins submitted by bat400 on 6th Aug 2006. Large Kiva at Tusayan Ruins, Coconino County, Arizona.
The Tusayan ruins at the Grand Canyon National Park show two separate circular ruins that may have been ceremonial rooms, or Kivas. The smaller one appeared to have burned, was made into some other sort of space. This is the foundation of the larger Kiva, seemingly built later that the first.
There was a firepit in the center of the room and an airshaft (seen in the rear wall.) This is a common feature of both historic Kivas, and simi...

Log Text: Maps still show the major buildings, tombs, and sanctuaries, but almost all of the ancient city of Aigai is currently closed to visitors. However, you can still hike up to see the fenced off (but visible) theater from the big parking lot on the east side of the modern village of Vergina. From here you have a great view to the north over what was the agora, a portion of the city's eastern wall, and the cemetery complexes.
To the east you can see the modern village of Palatitsia ("palace,") where the 16th century church of St. Demetrius can be seen with ancient column drums making up part of the walls. http://www.panoramio.com/photo/23715229

Log Text: Vichama differs from Caral and Banduria by the pictorial reliefs that have been found on several walls of elite residencies and ceremonial sites. The largest of these are easily seen at the primary site which included both a a large circular courtyard with ceremonial building over looking it. There are two walls depicting figures. Many of these appear to be starving figures, while others may be either be in the midst of some sort of exclamation or dance. The starving figures point to sunken abdomens or skeletal remains, but ts difficult to be certain if the other figures depict mournful grief or happy rejoicing.
In 2018 another, smaller wall of even more abstract figures, including snakes and faces was found. This wall has not been stabilized and was covered when we visited.
