There are lots of mounds in Missouri along the Mississippi River. A childhood friend's father would not let the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO come out to dig in the mounds on his land, (they lived just outside the capital city, Jefferson City, MO,) because he felt that they would be desecrating burial grounds. If the University had had this technology back then he probably would have allowed them to at least map his sites. Very interesting article, Judi Lynn! Your articles are always so interesting. Thanks.
