Most impressive are the effigy mounds, huge earthworks sculpted in the shapes of thunderbirds, water panthers, and other forms, not found amywhere else in the world in such concentrations. This second edition is updated throughout, incorporating exciting new research and satellite imagery. Citing evidence form past excavations, ethnography, the traditions of present-day Native Americand in the Midwest, technologically advanced ground penetrating radar and LiDAR imaging, and recent archaeological findings, authors Robert A. Birmingham and Amy L. Rosebrough argue that effigy mound groups are cosmological maps that model belief systems and relations with the spirit world. Included is an expanded list of public parks and preserves where mounds can be respectfully viewed, such as the outstanding Kingsley Bend mounds near Wisconsin Dells maintained by the Ho-Chunk Nation or Man Mound Park near Baraboo, the only extant human-shaped effigy mound in the world. 650 0 $a Mounds $z Wisconsin. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Wisconsin $x Antiquities. 650 0 $a Earthworks (Archaeology) $z Wisconsin. 651 0 $a Wisconsin $x Antiquities. 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Earthworks (Archaeology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00900958 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969645 650 7 $a Mounds. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01028233 651 7 $a Wisconsin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204595 700 1 $a Rosebrough, Amy, $d 1969- $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180104062207.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C0FA0DE8F11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
