Radiocarbon Dates Reveal Serpent Mound Is More than Two Thousand Years Old
Recent radiocarbon dating (Herrmann et al. 2014) found that Serpent Mound was likely built during the Early Woodland period—around 320 BC. Herrmann et al. (2014) also suggested that the effigy was repaired or restored during Fort Ancient times, thereby accounting for the late prehistoric radiocarbon-dated samples recovered by Fletcher et al. (1996). The present article presents new data in support of the Early Woodland construction date. These da…
Early Village Life in Southeastern Indiana
Investigations at the Guard site (12D29), located in Dearborn County, Indiana, have provided evidence pertaining to the development of early Fort Ancient villages. Recent geophysical survey and excavations alongside many new radiocarbon dates have allowed for improved understanding of household architecture and intrasite variability. Although some scholars have hypothesized that Middle Fort Ancient villages developed out of small early Fort Ancie…
Geophysical Survey at Ohio Earthworks
The state of Ohio is rich in monumental architecture, from small, geometric ditch‐and‐embankment earthworks to wooden henge‐like enclosures and massive complexes consisting of miles of earthen embankments. Until recently, scholars have relied primarily upon nineteenth century maps and mound excavations for use in a range of research programmes related to the earthworks. However, large‐scale geophysical surveys are showing that most of the ninetee…
A new multistage construction chronology for the Great Serpent Mound, USA
Beyond Squier and Davis
The prehistoric earthworks of Ohio have played a major role in the development of American archaeology and they continue to figure prominently in archaeological research. However, while a select group of larger earthwork sites have been intensively studied and resurveyed with geophysical survey instruments, much of the ongoing earthwork research, and reference to less-well-known sites, still relies on nineteenth-and early twentieth-century maps. …
Determining Site Size and Structure
A basic problem in archaeological research is determining site size and structure. In this paper we develop an approach that sequentially employs several survey techniques, including aerial photography, magnetic gradiometry, magnetic susceptibility, and shovel testing in the context of the Wildcat site (33My499), a Fort Ancient habitation site located near Dayton, Ohio. Defining site size and structure was a challenge at Wildcat since it is locat…

Exploring the Features Found During the 1971–1977 Seip Earthworks Excavation
The 1971–1977 Ohio Historical Society excavations at the Seip earthworks in Ross County, Ohio uncovered seven Hopewell structures and numerous associated features. While the associated features have played a role in previous interpretations of structure function, they have not been adequately described in publications. In this article we provide detailed descriptions of the features based on archived field notes and photographs. We also consider …
