Seip Earthworks

This is a very similar site to the Hopewell Earthworks site, in that most of the mounds have been ploughed flat over the years. It is different because part of the site has been delineated with pieces of wood where they found evidence of an artisan workshop that produced some of the articles that were buried with the dead. 

The big mound was used to bury more than 100 people, which was also unusual. 

Also, the big mound was built in several steps.

From the top of the mound you can see the extent of the site, as the grass has been left to grow where the mound walls once stood.

It’s evidently very similar to several other sites.
