  • Cahokia

    Cahokia mounds is one of the coolest archaeology sites in North America. I first saw Cahokia on the Native America documentary on PBS. I was memorized. Since then, I have been fascinated with those little Cahokia points excavated at the mounds. Here is an article with some background on the site, and the rest are some amazing pictures of artifacts discovered there.

    Cahokia was one of the largest cities in the world hundreds of years before Columbus. But by 1400 A.D., it had been abandoned.
