Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Certain Mounds and Village Sites in Ohio, Vol. 3: The Feurt Mounds and Village Sites
The original top soil of this plateau was a clay loam of several feet in thickness, underlaid with gravel. The present top soil is from six inches to four feet above the original surface, as a result of the custom of the inhabitants of the village in carrying soil from the sides of the abrupt bank and covering up the accumulated debris in and around their tepee sites. When these places were uncovered, the story of the primitive peoples, who doubtless for a long period of time made this site their home, was revealed.
