I also spent many years doing field trips to the mounds in Ohio. I spent so much time looking at them that I recognize a mound in a nearby field here in TN. I don't think it has ever been excavated, but it is definitely a mound.

I often thought that the Indians that remained here when the settlers came were the remnants of a much bigger civ. They had to be—if the descriptions of Kentucky as a dark and bloody ground were accurate, and we have no reason to think they weren’t, where did all the people that fought the battle come from? Where did they go? What happened to all the bodies? Nobody goes to all the trouble to build mounds like that for no reason. They would have been much to busy just surviving to play in the dirt, and some of the mounds are exquisite. And, the full effect is only seen from the air. HMMMM.... Each question snowballs into more questions. Love it!

There's a mound site right outside of my city that has been under excavation for years. (Well, when it's not raining, that is.)
