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.

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."

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).
