Recovering Ancient Indigenous Landscapes of the Upper Ohio Valley

Hank Lutton, Curator at the Grave Creek Mound Museum will discuss The Persistence of Prehistoric Monuments: Ancient Indigenous Landscapes of the Upper Ohio Valley, including significant regional prehistoric ruins, landmarks, and archaeological sites which -- for whatever reason -- have been overlooked or ignored since they were initially reported, sometimes in the newspapers.

Standingbear998, you are correct as change is a constant. At no point did I claim that I was describing landscapes from 100 million years ago. Perhaps you're commenting on the wrong video. 100 million years is well before the first known primate arrived. As an archaeologist, I study lifeways and artifacts created by people. In this presentation, I described landscape architectural structures such as burial mounds, ditches, and earthworks envisioned and constructed with the Adena, ca. BCE to CE 200. If you watch the presentation, you should know that I used "Indigenous" to describe landscapes created and modified by Indigenous Peoples--who by the way, would be greatly offended by your abject dismissal of the word indigenous.

there is no such thing as indigenous landscapes. people go back in time or history to wherever supports there whatever and rime stops there. this is not how the Ohio river vally was 100 million years ago. It has been forever changing like climate and the entire world. very misleading and false using the now meaningless word indigenous.
