Much of what we know of life among the inhabitants of North America before the arrival of Europeans comes from mounds in the southeastern U.S.
However, there is much debate among scholars about the findings.
Excavations show sophisticated cities, large effigy mounds, centers of worship, and possibly, vast earthwork calendars.
Objects found in the mounds and burial sites provide graphic information about how these ancient people lived.

Description

Native dwellings series–maps on endpapers.;Includes bibliographical references
From Florida as far north as Ontario, and from the Atlantic coast to the Mississippi Valley, mounds of earth and shell were constructed by the first of North America’s Native peoples.
Why did they build them? Where did the builders go? Mounds built of shell, and then of earth, date back over 3,000 years.
These remarkable structures hold the key to our understanding of the earliest civilizations of North America
