Mounds of History
Elizabeth Kibler


1Looking at the Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site in Georgia is like taking a trip into history. Huge, green mounds sprout up from the grassy earth. The impressive mounds give visitors a feeling of mystery.

The Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site in Georgia is one of the most well preserved examples of Native American society in the United States. This historic site is 54 acres of what was once a Native American town.

The Mounds
3The Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site, located near the Etowah River, has six mounds. Three of the mounds—called A, B, and C—are the most famous features of the site. Native Americans built the mounds beside two, open plazas. The mounds have four sides and flat tops. Native Americans used steps to get to the tops of the mounds. They also built a ditch that served as a protective barrier around the mounds.

Native Americans built the mounds for several reasons. They used the mounds as platforms for building, burial grounds, and areas for religious activities. The main mounds served as the center of the town. The other members of the town lived scattered for many miles around the mounds.

Scientific Research
5Scientists who study ancient cultures discovered much information about the mounds. They believe that Mound A at Etowah was reserved for the chief of the area. The chief of the town had his home on the mound. The other citizens of the town lived around this mound. The closer a person lived to Mound A, the more significant he or she was in the society. Mound A reaches about 60 feet high. It is also more than 300 square feet wide at its base. Some scientists believe that every time a chief died, a new layer was added to mound. Then, a new house was built on the top.

6The only Etowah mound to be fully dug up and researched is Mound C. Mound C was used as a burial mound. Inside Mound C, scientists found jewelry, clothing, and other important relics.

Mississippian Culture

7The Etowah Indian Mounds are remnants of an interesting society. The builders of these mounds were part of the Mississippian culture. This group of Native Americans lived in parts of North America from 800 A.D. until the arrival of European explorers. People of the Mississippian culture built these mounds between 1000 B.C. and 1550 A.D.

8The Mississippians living in and around Georgia first encountered European explorers in the 1500s. Unfortunately, the Native Americans were not protected against the ailments brought by these strangers. Illness put the already-declining population on dangerous ground. In time, the populations got much smaller. Later, some of the remaining members of the Mississippian culture formed the Creek and Cherokee tribes.

The Mounds Today
The Etowah mounds give scientists a wonderful view of life in America before recorded history. The state of Georgia currently owns the historic site, which many visitors enjoy each year. Future research at the mounds may uncover even more information about American history.

Which lines in this excerpt from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice suggest that Mr. Darcy is questioning his hasty judgment and has fallen in love with Elizabeth

{Occupied in observing Mr. Bingley's attentions to her sister, Elizabeth was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some interest in the eyes of his friend}. {Mr. Darcy had at first scarcely allowed her to be pretty; he had looked at her without admiration at the ball; and when they next met, he looked at her only to criticise}. {But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she hardly had a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes}.{ To this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying. Though he had detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry in her form, he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and pleasing; and in spite of his asserting that her manners were not those of the fashionable world, he was caught by their easy playfulness}.{ Of this she was perfectly unaware; to her he was only the man who made himself agreeable nowhere, and who had not thought her handsome enough to dance with}
