Serpent Mound--AGain its more than 2,00 years old

I came across the following report while working on my next book on Adena Ceremonial Sites. It is the most recent reporting on the dating of Serpent Mound, the world's largest effigy mound in Peebles, Ohio. Using radiocarbon dating they have confirmed that Serpent Mound is 2,300 years old, so it was made in the Early Woodland period and the Adena Culture.

First you might want to read my writeup and pictures I took in May of 2016 while visiting Serpent Mound.
