Wow. Excellent review. Thank you for enlightening. Agreed, there are some fat question marks for the site and the culture that inhabited/created it. However, its Mississippian/Pre-Mississippian...what did the Mississippian Civilizations do with their dead, primarily? KNow that some of them were buried in the architecture? Is this not the case with any bodies at Poverty Point?

And a question about the site's roads...do you think satellite can tease out the old paths better than an on-foot survey. I'm gonna zip over to Google Earth to see what I can see, but to date I've not thought to look at any of the Mississippian Places this way.

As soon, as I am in the area, rest assured, I will visit. I recently finished driving a truck back in January. On the road, any older mound site, antiquated Native city I came within 100 miles of, I made a point to visit. You might appreciate my personal recollection of a visit to Cahokia buried in my blog.

I was just living in a community in Virginia and I met a Lakota Indian, he was heading out west for the Sun Dancing ritual, anyways he was glowing quite a lot when he came back, but it seems the spiritual celebrations are strongly followed, and something really that I have never experienced, but it does sound beautiful!!!!
