The idea that Cahokia was a much more ancient site than it appears is not really recent. Finding stone structures UNDER the current mound is not unexpected

Unfortunately for researchers, there's a whole school of paleo-Indian archaeology out there who really don't want anybody finding Chinese stuff down there, but that's exactly what they are going to find because, as serious students know, when DeSoto came to Angel Mounds and then Cahokia, the resident Indians in that area were the Sioux and their brethren. These Indians used a sign language which uses the human body to form characters identical to those found in the remains of the Shang state in China.

See my post at #8 on http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/632079/  posts for my last most recent reference to this.

Oh, yes, you can start reading all about DeSoto at http://www.floridahistory.com/kentucky.html

And those characters - a brief is located at http://flora.huh.harvard.edu/china/focnews/August-97/0023.html

The stone is not UNDER the mound. It's actually rather high up inside of it... in other words, whatever the pile of rocks is, it is definitely not older than Monk's mound. It It is also not shaped like an organized building or anything- it seems to be shaped more like a wall, or a long pile of small stones and fill, as if there was a ditch and they dumped debris in it and just covered it up over time. The material isn't considered to be very solid as it would be in a hard structure.
