In Search of the St. Louis Mound Group: Archaeoastronomic and Landscape Archaeology Implications

A likely location for the lost St. Louis Mound Group, once part of a larger complex alongside Cahokia, has been identified using 1850s survey plats and early lithographs. This rediscovery sheds light on a significant but destroyed component of Mississippian culture in Illinois, USA. The study also explores potential astronomical alignments and landscape relationships within the group, which may hold cosmological implications. By analyzing historical records and spatial data, researchers aim to reconstruct this lost archaeological landscape and its significance.
