The search for Site 15CW64

A few years back I read an article in a local magazine about an Indian Mound in Calloway County. I kept the magazine but it has disappeared from my presence here recently. So I began to do some research about this supposed mound. I couldn't find the magazine article via internet so I began asking around. By some shear luck I was asking my mother about this site. She explained to me that it was real and when she was a child (Ark years...lol) she played on that site. After clearing my head of the site of my mother making a playground out of and Indian Burial site I listened carefully. She told me of the spot and how to get to it.

I spent some time searching the internet for mounds and after and exhaustive search I found it. It is Archaeological Site 15CW64. This site was added in 1985 and very little is published about it. The address is restricted....ha ha ha. It is currently labeled with the Mississippian Cultural Affiliation. The time period is around 1000-1600AD. It's "function" is burial and graves or Mom's playground whichever you would like to say.

So this Saturday Morning the Hughes Boys are headed out to find the long lost site of 15CW64. We are going to take pictures of this site and finally have a map to it. I know that this may seem small to you. But since we are Calloway Countians we should take great pride in this areas heritage. Some people will wonder why take pictures of a hill? Well after seeing some pictures of Indian mounds on the net why not add ours to them. I mean look at this one:


I know we can do better than that! Maybe we can label ours "Tabers Recreational Area". LOL!
