The Poverty Point earthworks,
located 1.1 miles north, date to
1700-1100 B.C. Built by Native
Americans who hunted, fished,
and gathered wild foods. The 5
mounds, 6 ridges, and 43-acre
plaza present a design unique
in the world. A 6th mound was
added 1800 years later. Tons of
rock were imported from distant
places for tools and ornaments.
