Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Moundville Archaeological Site, also known as the Moundville Archaeological Park, is a Mississippian site on the Black Warrior River in Hale County, near the town of Moundville. Extensive archaeological investigation has shown that the site was the political and ceremonial center of a regionally organized Mississippian culture chiefdom polity between the 11th and 15th centuries. The archaeological park portion of the site is administered by the University of Alabama Museums and encompasses 172 acres (70 ha), consisting of 32 platform mounds around a rectangular plaza. The site was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. Moundville is the second- largest site of the classic Middle Mississippian era (after Cahokia in Illinois).
