Scott Rogers, of TheNewsStar.com, has written an article about the exciting new mound found
at Poverty Point, a 3,000 year old mound site in Louisiana.
" During survey work in 2011, Poverty Point archaeologist Diana Greenlee happened upon what she thought was an undiscovered mound created by the prehistoric Poverty Point inhabitants.
Additional research including sediment tests, proved her initial assumption true. Poverty Point has another mound. It was discovered in a remote wooded area of the site and designated now as Mound F."
