"Hidden Secrets of the Poverty Point Plaza (and Other Cool Stuff)"

The Poverty Point World Heritage Site is a massive and uniquely designed earthwork complex built and occupied more than 3000 years ago by indigenous people who lived through hunting, fishing, and gathering. Situated in a reckless environment, more than 78 tons of stone were brought from nonlocal sources for  the  production of tools and ornaments. Although the earthen mounds and C-shaped ridges have received most of the archaeological attention over the years, the Poverty Point plaza is now beginning to reveal its secrets.

Diana Greenlee is the University of Louisiana at Monroe's Poverty Point Station Archaeologist and Adjunct Professor of Archaeology.

Presented by the UAM Archeology Research Station &
the Tunican Chapter of the Arkansas Archeological Society
