Recent Excavations and Current Research at Spiro Mounds
Author(s): Scott Hammerstedt; Amanda Regnier; Patrick Livingood
Year: 2015
Summary
Geophysical survey at Spiro provided evidence for dozens of contemporaneous structures near the well-known Craig mound. Over the last year, four of those structures were excavated by University of Oklahoma field crews. This paper will discuss the results of those excavations and discuss whether the evidence supports James A. Brown's recent interpretation of an early 15th century 'Event' at Spiro.
