Ancient Levee Discovered at the Portsmouth, Ohio Earthworks

The Yellow Line is where the ancient levee was diagrammed by the Ohio Power Company

Sixth St. Believed, Part of Levee by Mound Builders
   The Ohio Power Co.s new office building at Sixth and Washington streets will sit on top of a flood levee built years ago by the Mound Builders.
   Samples of the soil sent to Columbia University for testing puzzled the professors and another sample was requested.  The professors said that the sod appeared to be "doped" and was unlike sod usually found in that section of the country.
Soil Imported
   Further examination revealed the sod was brought here by the Mound builders and was used to build a levee along Sixth Street from the Scioto river bank east..  The levee apparently followed a line east from Sixth street to Galia and Waller streets and ran northeast to Offnere street hill.
   The lines in the soil indicated that more soil was added each year. In one place a leaf mold about two feet thick was found. It has not been determined of the required years to build the levee, or was soil added as the flood stage of the river increased.
Believed Mixed with Clay
   Historian believe that Mound Builders found a particular soil elsewhere that proved superior for their purposes than the clay found around here.  It is believed the imported soil was mixed with clay to build the levee.

A Bear Effigy mound is diagrammed from an 1886, Oho Historical Society survey of the sacred vias and earthworks at Portsmouth, Ohio and across the river in Greenup County, Kentucky.

The Tremper  effigy mound is just north of Portsmouth, Ohio. What animal was being depicted is still a matter of conjecture.

The southwest portion of the work contains a square earthwork with two sacred vias.  The measurements used in the construction are identical to those of henges  across the Ohio Valley.

The two sacred vias eminating from the Square are 210 feet wide and 2100 feet in length.  This length repeats in many of the Adena Sun Temples in the Ohio Valley. 

Two henges at the Junction Group near Chillicothe, Ohio were 210 feet in diameter or 660 feet in circumference. Henges at Mounds State Park in Anderson, Indiana, Cambridge City, Indiana and at Athens, Ohio were also 210 feet in diameter or 660 feet in circumference.
