Archaeological reconstruction of the Mound Bottom, Tennessee mound complex from the mound encyclopedia. The site is enclosed by a horseshoe bend in the Harpeth River with a small, narrow band of land yielding access. It is a 500 acre site that is today a state park with restricted access. It was "found" in 1804 and had 14 large platform mounds. It was constructed in AD 700 and inhabited until 1300. Some information on the site is at the Visitors Center at the nearby Montgomery Bell State Park....

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).

Coral Castle

Country: United States (The South)

Coral Castle submitted by bat400 on 29th Oct 2013. Coral Castle Coral Castle was interesting, but didn't hold as much magic or mystery about it as other folk environments I've seen. Ed Leedskalnin created it in response to rejection from his true love, whom he refers to as "Sweet Sixteen," and who was ten years his junior. I couldn't help feeling that she'd made the right move.
