Discovery?
I removed the following section which appeared to be a test edit. Maybe someone else can do something with this? Thanks. Flibirigit 06:52, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * From History of Grave Creek Mound, Moundsville, Marshall County, West Virginia. - Joseph Tomlinson II (1745-1825), original white settler of the property, discovered the Grave Creek Mound during summer of 1770 while returning to his cabin from a hunting trip.

I'm suspicious of the Lewis and Clark reference since their expedition was nowhere near West Virginia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mistergs (talk • contribs)
 * The Lewis and Clark Expedition set out from Pittsburgh on August 31, 1803 and passed by Moundsville when their boat travelled down the Ohio River (taking two and a half months to do so). 67.86.75.57 (talk) 01:40, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Serpent Mound not Adena
I removed the reference to the Serpent Mound as it post-dates the Adena Culture by several centuries - this is even stated in the Serpent Mound article. --Ossipewsk (talk) 01:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Missing the Grave Creek Stone
This article should contain a summary and photo of the controversial discovery of the "Grave Creek Stone" that has both been declared a fraud, and also been declared a genuine Punic inscription by Barry Fell.Cadwallader (talk) 20:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Would you supply a source to cite for that? Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 03:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Simpler to just do a See Also to the Grave Creek Stone which gives it good coverage. I don't think there are any photos we can use if the article is correct.Doug Weller (talk) 07:40, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I may be wrong about the photo, it's on Hu McCulloch's site, he's a friend of mine (although we disagree about most things) so I'll ask him about it.Doug Weller (talk) 07:48, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Merging this with Grave Creek Stone
This seems a no brainer. I've emailed Hu, by the way.Doug Weller (talk) 16:52, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Having said that, there is a significantdifference between the 2 articles -- one is a genuine Native American archaeological site, the other is about what is almost certainly a hoax. And the article on the stone is much longer. So, at the moment I think the best thing to do is to put a see also on this article and a photo on the other one. What I don't think is required is rehashing the stone here.Doug Weller (talk) 18:08, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * If you wish more information and a site then go to CherokeeLawrenceburg Tennessee site.

Not only are there pictures but also very good information. Anyone not knowing or understanding Cherokee or Hebrew Language should never assume automatically that something they no little or nothing about as fake or wrong! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.0.92.173 (talk) 17:33, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Those are the 'wannabee Cherokees', not accepted as Cherokees by the tribes, to put it mildly. dougweller (talk) 19:15, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Construction
here I read: "Construction of the mound took place in successive stages from about 250-150 B.C., as indicated by..." but the NHL-Page says, it is dated to c. 500 BC. This both informations are a big difference. Sorry for my bad english but can someone maybe check or control this difference? -- Hartmann Schedel  cheers  23:03, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
