NorthEastern Earthen Mounds- Part 1 of A Site:
Yes folks, there was a mound-building culture in the NorthEast as well it seems. Not only can stone cairns and stone mounds which are more common to this area be classified as mounds; there also appears to be Earthen mounds in the region/ area as well. Here are pictures from one site that I visited. This is important to note and controversial- Earthen Mounds are generally accepted by professionals not to exist in this region, although there are some well-documented cases of other Earthen Mound sites in this region. Check these ones out:
These mounds are located next to a sacred pool/ spring. Notice the placed boulder by the edge of the water:
A nicely formed mound. Nature did not do this, a culture of people did:
