On the Cover
The Spiro Mounds Archaeological Center is located in eastern Oklahoma
along the south bank of the Arkansas River. The large mound shown on the
cover had four cones, the largest holding what has become known as the “Great
Mortuary.” This cone originally stood 34’ high and was 115’ in
diameter. The entire mound was 350’ in length. It was entirely leveled
in excavations by the WPA in the 1930s after the Pocola Mining Company
tunneled into the largest cone and caused a controversy that led to new
laws regarding archaeological resources in Oklahoma. The mound today is
a reconstruction. The other mounds at the extensive site are original.
