Shackleford Mounds

Shackleford contains four mounds and a village midden (refuse site) near where Cypress Bayou flows into Shackleford Lake. Two mounds (Mds. A and D?) and the midden are on the edge of the bayou, another (Md. B) is on the bluff about 20 feet above the lake, and the fourth (Md. C) is about 400 feet west of Mound A. Although a 1935 sketch map illustrated two mounds connected by a causeway, no evidence of a causeway exists today. The largest mound (Md. A) is about 13 feet high, almost 145 by 130 feet at the base, and 45 feet square at the summit. Testing identified seven building stages atop a prepared sand base. The second largest (Md. B, not visible) is 4 feet tall and 225 by 75 feet at the base. The other mounds are small and hard to see. Four radiocarbon samples date the site to about AD 800 (Coles Creek period). *[Indian Mounds of Northeast Louisiana](https://www.crt.state.la.us/dataprojects/archaeology/moundsguide/shacklefordchurch.html)* Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab沙克尔福德遗址（Shackleford）位于赛普拉斯贝尤（Cypress Bayou）汇入沙克尔福德湖（Shackleford Lake）的邻近区域，包含四座土丘与一处村落贝冢（垃圾堆积遗址，refuse site）。其中两座土丘（土丘A与土丘D？）及该贝冢坐落于贝尤沿岸；另一座土丘（土丘B）位于高出湖面约20英尺的断崖之上；第四座土丘（土丘C）则距土丘A以西约400英尺。尽管1935年的手绘草图曾标注两座土丘由堤道相连，但目前未发现任何堤道存在的遗迹。最大的土丘（土丘A）高约13英尺，基底尺寸近145×130英尺，顶部为45英尺见方的平面。经考古勘探证实，其经过平整的沙质基底之上存在7个建筑营建阶段。第二大的土丘（土丘B，现已不可见）高4英尺，基底尺寸为225×75英尺。其余两座土丘体量较小，难以辨识。通过四份碳十四测年样本，该遗址的年代可追溯至公元800年左右（科尔斯溪文化期，Coles Creek period）。*《路易斯安那州东北部的印第安土丘》（Indian Mounds of Northeast Louisiana）*，来源链接：https://www.crt.state.la.us/dataprojects/archaeology/moundsguide/shacklefordchurch.html 数据来源：Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
