A 22-minute film about the prehistoric earthworks in Louisiana
that includes a 70-foot tall mound shaped like a giant bird will be shown
at 7 p.m. Dec. 27, at the Grave Creek
Mound Archaeological Complex in Moundsville.
The Louisiana Public Broadcasting documentary, "Poverty
Point Earthworks: Evolutionary Milestones of the Americas,"
features the earthworks at the Poverty Point State Historic Site in
northeastern Louisiana that
date to 1750-1350 BC and consist of six concentric artificial earth embankments
that would stretch 7.5 miles if laid end to end.
Poverty Point was home to one of the most important
prehistoric cultures on the continent, and is one of the few
archaeological and historic sites in North America that
is a state historic site and national monument.
"The film will help to explain the site's many
fascinating discoveries," David Rotenizer, site manager at Grave Creek
Mound said in a release.
This event will be the last installment of Grave Creek's 2012
lecture and film series, which is held in conjunction with the Upper Ohio
Valley Chapter of the West Virginia Archaeological Society. Grave Creek will
kick off its 2013 Lecture & Film Series at 7
p.m. Jan. 31, with a film titled "Ancient America: Eastern Woodlands."
