Scioto Mounds

The Scioto Mounds are an ancient Native American archaeological site located in Ohio, featuring a collection of large earthworks and burial mounds built by the Hopewell culture around 100 BCE to 500 CE. These mounds served ceremonial, burial, and social functions and demonstrate sophisticated mound-building and artistic skills. The site offers valuable insights into the spiritual beliefs and societal organization of early Native American communities. Today, the Scioto Mounds are preserved as part of archaeological and historical research, helping us understand the region's prehistoric cultures.
