Recently, a series of mound-like features were discovered in a GPR survey buried beneath the ground in the centre of the site. Time Team&rsquo;s geophys wizz Jimmy Adcock travels across the Atlantic to join a team of archeologists investigating these mysterious subterranean features. Could the origin of these mounds provide the answer to why Poverty Point&rsquo;s prehistoric inhabitants chose this location for their ancient city? The team has just three days to find out! The Poverty Point resistivity survey was partially supported by a grant from the ISAP Fund of the International Society for Archaeological Prospection. </span></p>https://timeteamdigital.com:443/prehistoric-earthworks---louisiana-usa-international/mystery-mounds-at-poverty-point-%7C-time-team-special<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; caret-color: #0d0d0d; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Poverty Point is a UNESCO World Heritage Site consisting of a complex of monumental earthworks located in Louisiana, USA. </span></p> <p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; caret-color: #0d0d0d; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Recently, a series of mound-like features were discovered in a GPR survey buried beneath the ground in the centre of the site. </span></p> <p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; caret-color: #0d0d0d; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Time Team&rsquo;s geophys wizz Jimmy Adcock travels across the Atlantic to join a team of archeologists investigating these mysterious subterranean features. </span></p> <p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; caret-color: #0d0d0d; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Could the origin of these mounds provide the answer to why Poverty Point&rsquo;s prehistoric inhabitants chose this location for their ancient city? </span><span style="caret-color: #0d0d0d; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The team has just three days to find out! </span></p> <p><span style="caret-color: #0d0d0d; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Poverty Point resistivity survey was partially supported by a grant from the ISAP Fund of the International Society for Archaeological Prospection.</span></p>Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:00:00 GMThttps://timeteamdigital.com:443/prehistoric-earthworks---louisiana-usa-international/mystery-mounds-at-poverty-point-%7C-time-team-special
