Mound Tombs
Mound tombs are burial structures characterized by their earthen mounds, often built over graves. These tombs were commonly used by ancient cultures, including the Native American tribes and Celtic societies, to honor their deceased. The mounds can vary in size and shape, and they often contain artifacts, bones, and other items that provide insight into the burial practices and beliefs of the people who constructed them.
These structures serve as important archaeological sites, helping researchers understand historical cultures and their rituals. Mound tombs are typically found in regions with rich burial traditions, such as the Ohio River Valley in the United States and parts of Europe. Their study contributes to our knowledge of ancient societies and their relationship with the land.
