Debating the Age of Serpent Mound
The debate over the age of Serpent Mound (33AD01) is important because without a cultural context it is impossible to make meaningful statements about what this monumental effigy mound might have meant to its builders. In this response to Romain and Herrmann’s rejoinder, we clarify the provenience of the samples, which yielded the radiocarbon dates that contribute to our argument for a post–Late Woodland age for the effigy. In addition, we extend…

Arguments for the Age of Serpent Mound
Serpent Mound, in northern Adams County, Ohio, USA, is one of the most iconic symbols of ancient America and yet there is no widely agreed upon date for the age of its original construction. Some archaeologists consider it to have been built by the Adena culture around 300bc, while others contend it was built by the Fort Ancient culture aroundad1100. There have been three attempts to obtain radiometric ages for the effigy, but they have yielded i…
The Körös Basin from the Neolithic to the Hapsburgs: Linking settlement distributions with pre‐regulation hydrology through multiple data set overlay
Geophysical and geochemical investigations at two early copper age settlements in the Körös River Valley, Southeastern Hungary
Geophysical and geochemical analyses conducted at the Early Copper Age
Alligator Mound: Geoarchaeological and Iconographical Interpretations of a Late Prehistoric Effigy Mound in Central Ohio, USA
Alligator Mound is an animal effigy mound in central Ohio, USA. Since Ephraim Squier and Edwin Davis first recorded and mapped it in 1848, many have speculated regarding its age and meaning, but with remarkably little systematic archaeological investigation. Many scholars have assumed the Hopewell culture (c. 100 BC-AD 400) built the mound, based principally on its proximity to the Newark Earthworks. The Hopewell culture, however, is not known to…
Geomorphic and pedogenic evidence for bioturbation of artifacts at a multicomponent site in Licking County, Ohio, U.S.A.
The distribution of artifacts at the multi-component (Paleoindian through Middle Woodland) Munson Springs site (33Li251) is best explained by downward migration of objects through bioturbation processes rather than by a vertical sequence of occupation surfaces through a period of sediment accretion. At the noncultivated, 1800 m2, footslope site, the distribution of glacial diamict, loess, and drift- and bedrock-derived colluvium indicate widespre…
Intestinal contents of a late Pleistocene mastodont from midcontinental north America
Salvage excavations of a nearly complete and remarkably well-preserved skeleton of an American mastodont ( Mammut americanum ) in Licking County, Ohio, yielded a discrete, cylindrical mass of plant material found in association with articulated vertebrae and associated ribs. This material is interpreted as intestinal contents of the mastodont and paleobotanical analyses indicate that the mastodont diet included significant amounts of low, herbace…
