The Tower and The Rising Sun: Archaeology at Pinson Mounds Monumental Complex

The Pinson Mounds complex in western Tennessee is one of the earliest sites in the country to feature platform mound construction. Dating to the Middle Woodland period between ~2000 and 1700 years ago, there is very little emphasis here on the burial of the dead, as is much more common with Hopewellian mound complexes. Instead, structures are oriented around visibility.
