Archaeological Map of the Burial Mounds in Noble County, Indiana

About  30 burial mound sites were physically investigated in Noble County, Indiana.  Many of these sites required 3 or 4 visits before getting access o the land.  A few burial mounds were photographed that had no historic provenance but were shared with me because all I desired was to take a photo for posterity.  Many landowners shared that they had held information back about mound sites and skeletal remains being found from archaeologists because they knew that they could seize their land or destroy any mounds that were on their property. In the end, 8 mound sites were photographed and the directions provided in "The Nephilim Chronicles: A Travel Guide to the Ancient Ruins in the Ohio Valley."
