Log Text: Not an anthropology museum per se, and fairly pricey if your only interest are the galleries on the first people who lived in this region between the last Ice Age and European-contact. However, if you were flying into Indianapolis to visit the area, the collection would be a good introduction prior to visiting sites like Angel Mounds, Mounds State Park and particularly, other smaller locations without on site information.
Other galleries are more spectacular, including the collection of early marine life forms preserved in the extensive limestone deposits of Indiana.

Maryhill Stonehenge war memorial submitted by stonetramp on 16th Oct 2007. Built by Sam Hill as a tribute to the soldiers of Klickitat County who lost their lives, Maryhill's Stonehenge is the first monument in our nation to honor the dead of World War I. The structure is a full-scale replica of England's famous neolithic Stonehenge. A Quaker pacifist, Hill was mistakenly informed that the original Stonehenge had been used as a sacrificial site, and thus constructed the replica to remind us that ''humanity is still being sacrificed to the god of war.'' The location now...

Lake Koshkonong Mounds
Date Added: 28th Apr 2017
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 31st Mar 2013
Lake Koshkonong Mounds submitted by bat400 on 31st Mar 2013. One of the larger remaining mounds in this group, shaped like a turtle. However, this is just about impossible to tell from a photo, both because there is no way to see the overall shape from ground level, and because these mounds are not kept carefully trimmer of high vegetation or outlines with contrasting ground cover.

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).
