摘要:In 1997, the Ancient Mounds Heritage Area and Trail was
established to make an inventory of earthworks in northeast
Louisiana. The long-term goal was to create a self-guided
Mounds Trail on which visitors would be directed to historic
markers that would describe the earthworks visible from the
highway at those locations. A total of 360 earthworks was listed
in 15 parishes in northeast Louisiana. A preliminary survey was
conducted to assess the visibility of major mound sites from
paved roads. In 2001¨C2002, 33 of the sites were selected for
inclusion in the initial phase of the Mounds Trail program. The
following year, 21 sites were added; of the 54 selected, 40 will
have received markers by the end of 2005. During the entire
selection process, only four site owners declined to participate.
