摘要

美国伊利诺斯州的卡霍基亚土墩群被认为是墨西哥北部最大的美洲原住民城市。它在密西西比时期蓬勃发展。然而,卡霍基亚只是邻近地区三个建筑群中的一个。圣路易斯土墩集团位于卡霍基亚对面的密西西比河上,是更大建筑群的一部分。圣路易斯土丘群至少有25个土丘,包括所谓的大土丘,里面有几十个人类墓葬。在19世纪,圣路易斯土墩群被夷为平地,以允许城市扩张。很少有现存的记录记录了这个群体的位置或其他细节。结果,史前的一个重要部分似乎丢失了。在这篇论文中,圣路易斯土堆群的可能位置是通过19世纪50年代的测量平台、早期的石版版画和其他数据确定的。对这些发现进行了天文排列和景观关系的评估,并指出了可能的宇宙学含义。

In Search of the St. Louis Mound Group: Archaeoastronomic and Landscape Archaeology Implications
The Cahokia Mound Group in Illinois, USA, is acknowledged as the largest Native American city north of Mexico. It flourished during the Mississippian Period. Cahokia, however, was only one of three complexes in the immediate area. Located across the Mississippi River from Cahokia, the St. Louis Mound Group was part of the larger complex.The St. Louis Mound Group featured at least 25 earthen mounds including the so-called Big Mound that contained dozens of human burials.In the 1800s the St. Louis Mound Group was leveled to allow for urban expansion. Few records are in existence documenting the location or other details concerning the group. As a result, an important part of prehistory seems lost.  In this paper the likely location for the St. Louis Mound Group is identified using survey plats from the 1850s, early lithographs and other data. Findings are assessed for astronomical alignments and landscape relationships, with possible cosmological implications noted.
