Foxborough Prayer Seat (7) submitted by stonetracker on 23rd Jan 2023. Took some effort to find, as it is in the bushes. The U-shaped enclosure, which could be a prayer seat, has settled a bit into the topsoil.

Log Text: Revisited. No change but added a photo. This site is located in difficult terrain, as it is deep in a valley with steep sides and no direct trail. If you approach from the south, be prepared to cross a wetland.

Log Text: This is a so-called Chaco canyon outlier great house site built in the 1100s CE. It is accessible via a 1/4 to 1/2 Mile hike up a hill behind the Canyons of the Ancients Museum. Those like me who live close to sea level may want to take it easy with high elevation trail walking at first until they get acclimated. The trail is switch backed with benches, great views, and good interpretation of local flora. The entire route is paved to the top and likely wheelchair accessible.
Piketon Mounds
Date Added: 25th Jan 2023
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 1st Apr 2021. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
Piketon Mounds submitted by aluta on 29th Aug 2010. A view of the large mound, surmounted by a modern standing stone, otherwise known as a grave marker. No doubt it was thought to be an honour among later European-descended arrivals to be buried on the highest of the Indian mounds.

Log Text: Was able to locate what I believe are the 4 main mounds in the cemetery proper. The graded way is long gone as far as I can tell. See photos.

Hopewell Culture National Historic Site submitted by bat400 on 27th May 2006. Hopewell Culture NHP, Mound City Group.
Inside the main enclosure, this is a view looking toward the west. The large mound farthest back is the "Central Mound," the largest of the group. Closer is an elliptical mound, and a smaller conical mound is closest.
* The "Central Mound" was erected over the remains of two timber buildings with 13 cremated burials. Artifacts found included falcon effigies cut from copper sheets and fragments of human skull that had been cut and drilled (perhaps ...

Log Text: Site is as described in the overview and comments. A mostly faithful reconstructed site, due to damage from previous excavations and military or agricultural use of property. Many Hopewell mound and earthworks sites have suffered from similar modern activities. Some have been at least partially rebuilt.

Hopewell Mound Group submitted by stonetracker on 5th Feb 2023. Interpretation for the largest known Hopewell burial mound ever built (Mound 25). It actually started as three mounds which were soon conjoined into one as burials and fill were added.
A floor plan from a 1920s excavation at the base of the mound shows fire pits, basins, post holes, and graves.

Log Text: Intent of this trip was to see what was left of the square earthwork (nothing) and the mounds within the much larger enclosure (only a few slight rises above the field now). This site was not reconstructed, so what you see is the result of ~ 2000 yrs of erosion, plowing, etc.

Log Text: Other accounts have described access to this mound as "private" and "no trespassing." But I encountered no such issues on a recent visit. Parked in a nearby lot for town offices, walked in back and the mound was maybe 100 ft to the left in a field not far from a baseball diamond. The mound property was not posted, but the possible enclosure referred to in the description is posted as private.

Sayler Story Mound submitted by stonetracker on 21st Feb 2023. The "mystery mound" as of 2010. As of 2021, I was able to find nothing resembling this at the location given. The above-ground level portion mound has either been destroyed or the location listed is incorrect. Photo: Wikipedia, Creative Commons
