An exceptionally detailed and naturalistic piece displaying the very common theme of one creature emerging egg-like from the posterior of another, here a quasi-human head from a bird. The head seems to incorporate the likewise common motif of another creature emerging from its mouth. http://www.daysknob.com/AS.htm

The Great Serpent Mound is a 1,300-foot long and 3-foot high prehistoric effigy mound located on a plateau of a crater along Ohio Brush Creek in Adams County, Ohio, and is the largest surviving prehistoric effigy mound in the world. Resembling an uncoiling serpent, the mound is steeped in mystery and controversy. Despite over a century of research, there is no conclusive evidence about what it represents, when it was built, and what its true purpose was, though various astronomical alignments suggest it may have functioned as a type of calendar. The Serpent Mound conforms to the curve of the land on which it rests, with its head approaching a cliff above a stream. It winds back and forth for more than eight hundred feet and has seven distinct coils, ending in a triple-coiled tail. The serpent head has an open mouth extending around the east end of a 120-foot-long hollow oval feature, which is generally viewed as an egg, although other interpretations suggest it is the sun, the body of a frog, or merely the remnant of a platform. To the west of the effigy, is a triangular mound measuring approximately 32 feet at its base and long axis. The Serpent Mound is believed to have been laid out all at once, with a layer of clay and ash, and reinforced with stones. The most predominant theory is that the Serpent Mound represents a giant snake, which is slowly uncoiling itself and about to seize a huge egg within its extended jaws. However many theories abound suggesting various interpretations. For instance, some think it may represent an eclipse, or the phases of the moon. Others have speculated that it represents the myth of the horned serpent found in many Native American cultures. In 1909, local German Baptist minister Landon West proposed another unusual theory: the serpent was writhing in its death throes as punishment for tempting Adam and Eve in what West believed was the original Garden of Eden. There are serious suggestions that the serpent is intimately connected with the heavens. Several writers have suggested that the serpent is a model of the constellation we call the Little Dipper, its tail coiled about the North Star. http://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-americas/great-serpent-mound-ohio-largest-earthen-effigy-world-001594

The Temple Of The Sun ~ Poverty Point Louisiana

...There are plenty of stone and clay artifacts that help tell the story. Think of Poverty Point decorations and styles as a fingerprint. The intricate owl designs carved from red jasper stone and the ceramic human figurines are particular to this place. This tells us that art was important to these ancient people, and the images may have held spiritual significance. Likewise, think of the stone found at Poverty Point as a roadmap. Rocks and minerals came to the site from as far away as present-day Iowa and as far east as the Appalachians. Water tied these routes together. Like our modern highway system, boat travel along the Mississippi River and its tributaries facilitated the movement of people and materials. Pottery is not abundant at Poverty Point, but its people were among the first in the Lower Mississippi Valley to make earthen vessels. They also made many other objects of fired earth or clay, such as Poverty Point Objects and figurines. When visiting the site, you will see numerous examples of fired clay used thousands of years ago. https://www.louisianatravel.com/history-artifacts

Those who lived at Poverty Point more than 3,000 years ago left no written records of their day-to-day lives. We know that the site was a ceremonial center that was once home to hundreds or perhaps thousands of people, as well as a trading hub unmatched by any in North America at that time. Poverty Point’s centerpiece is its collection of earthworks built during a 600-year period, or what today would be considered 25 generations. Its concentric half-circles, measuring 4 to 6 feet high in places, have an outside diameter of three-quarters of a mile apart. Mound A, commonly known as the Bird Mound, is one of the largest in North America. Everything about the earthen structures at Poverty Point suggest a concerted effort to build a massive residential and ceremonial center that had no rival in terms of scale and size. There are a few uses for mounds. Some are used for burials. Some are used as platforms to elevate special buildings or temples. Others, such as shell mounds in Florida, are ancient trash heaps. Yet Poverty Point stands apart. With no human remains or heaps of shells, archaeologists assume that these were symbols of power and wealth. People lived on the earthen ridges. Excavations have revealed postmolds, distinctive stains in the soil caused by now-decomposed wooden posts, which are probably the remains of houses. At Poverty Point, dwellings were wattle and taub constructions, meaning the walls were formed by a woven framework of cane and sticks that was covered in mud. The scale of construction here makes Poverty Point stand apart for another reason. During this era of human history known as the Late Archaic, most people lived in small groups. Due to the size of the earthen ridges—the habitation area at Poverty Point—however, there may have been at least hundreds of residents. And here’s a mystery for you. In the 43-acre plaza, defined by the earthen C-shaped ridges, are the remains of massive postholes that were set in circles standing up to 213 feet in diameter. An American version of Stonehenge? Perhaps, but probably not. The plaza would have made for an ideal meeting place. Some have speculated that it was used for astronomical observation. https://www.louisianatravel.com/history-artifacts

The potters sometimes sculpted animal and human motifs to decorate their wares. Examples are a dish with a duck head attached to the rim and a water bottle with an owl head at its opening (Figure 9). In the latter case, water is poured from the owl's mouth. The Kincaid people were very aware of wildlife and include wood ducks, owls, frogs, turtles, fish, and bear in their sculpting on pottery. They also include human faces. http://www.kincaidmounds.com/history.htm

The site of Kincaid Mounds was a large Early Woodland village over 2000 years ago and was occupied by the Late Woodland Culture just prior to the arrival of the Mississippian people. Whether the newly arrived Mississippians displaced the local Late Woodland "Lewis" Indians who previously lived there is unknown. They may have abandoned the site before the arrival of the corn farmers. However, some scholars believe that many local woodland peoples joined the Mississippians when they moved into a new area. Their corn economy offered the woodland people an easier life and more dependable food supply. At any rate, archaeologists find the remains of a late woodland village immediately beneath the earliest remnants of Kincaid. The first Mississippian people at the Kincaid site made a low, square mound or platform of earth just 3 feet high at the site of Mound 7. This mound is next to the present road just west of the observation area. Upon this they erected a building that may have served as the seat of authority over this initial community. During the next 300 years these people added to this first structure until a total of 19 flat-topped earth mounds and several smaller platforms were constructed. It is estimated that these earthworks consist of 90,000 cubic meters of soil that was dug up with stone hoes and spades and carried up on the mounds in baskets. In terms of the volume of earth moved, Kincaid ranks about 6th among all of the prehistoric Mississippian sites. With 11 major mounds, it is 5th in the number of these mounds. At its height, the intensively occupied area of Kincaid stretched for a distance of three-quarters of a mile along Avery Lake. http://www.kincaidmounds.com/history.htm

Mississippi has one of the richest archaeological legacies of any state in the U.S. Many notable sites have been discovered in the state, and there are mounds and mound groups that survive in most regions of the state. And from the Benton areas of the north to the shell middens of the coast, some of the finest prehistoric artifacts in the country have been found here. https://sites.google.com/site/magnoliastatearchsociety/mississippi-artifacts?tmpl=%2Fsystem%2Fapp%2Ftemplates%2Fprint%2F&showPrintDialog=1

The Bear Creek Mound is typical of the ceremonial Indian Mounds we have seen along our Natchez Trace journey. It is a flat topped temple mound that stands about 10 feet high and is right on the Mississippi-Alabama Border. The mound itself was built less than a 1000 years ago, sometime between 1200 and 1400 AD. At first you may think this is just another old Indian mound; however, the mound is located at the oldest major prehistoric site on the entire Natchez Trace. Dating back more than 10,000 years, the BEAR CREEK MOUND SITE was occupied by migratory hunters as early as 8000 B.C. Just imagine, this site was occupied by human beings for thousands of years, from Paleo times through the Mississippian period. http://www.angelsonthebackroads.com/roadmusi/FrankT29/thomfilm/aug1197.htm
