AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Greber conducted salvage excavations at Edwin Harness (Liberty) Mound and the preliminary results are presented here. 'The present paper is mainly concerned with identifying similarities in site morphology and burial patterns that may indicate possible similarities in social structures between the peoples associated with the Seip Mounds and the Edwin Harness Mound.' (page 27-28). Five tripartite earthworks of the central Scioto-Paint Creek Valley were compared. She compares the tripartite mound structure as a symbol of the tripartite social structure.
