Abstract
ABSTRACT Recent radiocarbon dating (Herrmann et al. 2014) found that Serpent Mound was likely built during the Early Woodland period—around 320 BC. Herrmann et al. (2014) also suggested that the effigy was repaired or restored during Fort Ancient times, thereby accounting for the late prehistoric radiocarbon-dated samples recovered by Fletcher et al. (1996). The present article presents new data in support of the Early Woodland construction date. These data include lidar analyses, electrical resistivity ground imaging (ERGI) studies, and iconographic assessments.
最近的放射性碳测年(Herrmann et al. 2014)发现,蛇丘可能建于公元前320年左右的早期林地时期。Herrmann等人(2014)还认为,该雕像在古堡时期被修复或修复,从而解释了Fletcher等人(1996)发现的史前晚期放射性碳定年样本。本文提出了支持早期林地建设日期的新数据。这些数据包括激光雷达分析、电阻率地面成像(ERGI)研究和图像评估。
