English: Title: The Grave Creek mound, one of the most famous "moundbuilder" hillocks in the United States, in the city that took its name from it: Moundsville, West Virginia
Physical description: 1 photograph : digital, tiff file, color. Notes: The heart of the site is the largest of the Adena people's burial mounds. A massive undertaking, the effort required the movement of more than 60,000 tons of earth. Artifacts and exhibits interpreting the lifestyle of the Adena people are displayed in the Delf Norona Museum, adjacent to the 2,000-year old mound. Grave Creek Mound is the largest conical type of any known moundbuilder structures. Its creation took place in successive stages from about 250 to 150 B.C., as indicated by the multiple burials at different levels within the structures. In 1838, road engineers measured its height at 69 feet and its diameter at the base at 295 feet. The first recorded excavation of the mound, by local amateurs, took place in 1838. To gain entrance to the mound, two horizontal tunnels and one vertical shaft were created. This led to the most significant discovery of two burial vaults.; Credit line: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M.
