1: Guide Book
We spent a few days hunting down the mounds in Southern Ohio. We used this book as a guide and carefully mapped out the sites we thought we could fit into our time frame. The book is filled with great information and served as a valuable reference. The State and Federal Park sites are the best maintained and offer on-site information. At several of the sites, the mounds were downplayed by other monuments or historical reference. And of course, a golf course adorns one of the mound formations. The good news is they left the mounds and didn't plow them away. Great Book, we will probably use it again to research other sites.

2: Ohio's Prehistoric Earthworks
At one time Ohio had the largest concentration of prehistoric earthworks on the planet. While sadly most of these structures have been lost over time to human intrusion, a number do still remain in this state. This book shows excellent photographs and diagrams of most of the more well-known and interesting sites. Here you will find the Newark mound groups, Fort Ancient, Serpent Mound, and details on the Adena, Hopewell, and other peoples who erected these impressive monuments to collective effort. Not only are the mounds studied here, directions are provided to make day-trips to these locations possible. An approachable starting point for learning about Ohio's amazing pre-Columbian past.
