Option 1

 * Article title: Indian Mounds Park (Saint Paul, Minnesota)
 * Article Evaluation
 * Fine overview, but more could be said on the lifeways of both the Hopewellian People and later Dakota, including the site's proximity to Fort Snelling and Pig's Eye Landing. The site was subject to Indigenous activity for over two millennia, that of which was not limited to a single political-cultural entity. This was a site of extensive longitudinal and multicultural activity, a point that should be stressed. The section on Excavation should also undergo further clarification that said excavations were unsolicited and largely unsystematic or even amateur incursions into the mounds. Granted, the section has a couple paragraphs dedicated to this, but it could use more. Citations are fine, although we do have a newspaper article. There do exist contemporary documents from some of the early proto-archaeologists who excavated the site, namely those of Theodore Lewis (see below). This may be useful supplementary sources to augment the article's content and provide further insight into how the site was treated by non-Indigenous actors.
 * In all honesty, the article is in pretty good shape from what I can tell.
