To a relatively large and enthusiastic audience Brad Lepper introduced us to the of spectacular earthen sculptures in the world. Highlighted was Serpent Mound in Adams County in Ohio. Currently there is a debate among some archaeologists about who built the mound; some arguing the Adena culture about 300 B.C.E. and some believe it to be the Fort Ancient culture, around 1100 C. E. Brad shared with us some results of a study in which he and his research colleagues are currently involved, hoping to come closer to solving the debate.
