An interesting overview of how the large prehistoric earthwork, Monk's Mound, was engineered and built. Researchers use techniques such as geoarchaeology and archaeobotany to better understand building construction. Some good aerial views and illustrations of the site are included. Students in Anthropology 377 will find this relevant. The original article was published by G. Fritz and J. Kelly in the Midcontinental Journal of Archaeology.
