Early explanations of the mounds by European visitors, probably tempered by racist views of Native Americans, built theories of lost mound builders of varied origins. It wasn't until the 1920s that serious archaeological investigations began. Here, a team composed of an anthropologist, a couple of geologists, and a landscape architect present their own interpretation, in "dialogue [with] those who saw the site at different times and with different eyes." Their presentation is based on a landscape approach that attempts to explore the totality of material and cultural phenomena while avoiding static interpretations of the past.
