Hi all -
While in Terre Haute a while back checking on its possibility as the location of Pacaha I learned that there was a Mississippian mound on the White River in Indiana. It was destroyed years ago to provide fill for a railroad line.
This site most likely represented the limit of the spread of Southern Ceremonial Complex in the mid-west.
I don't know if it was the site of Pacaha, or whether Terre Haute was.

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Like the ceremonial center for those outlying hamlets.
All gone, used for railroad bed fill way back ago.
