Panther Intaglio Effigy Mound
Panther Intaglio Effigy Mound, Archaeological site in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, US.
The Panther Intaglio Effigy Mound features a 125-foot-long depression shaped like a panther or water spirit carved into the ground near Rock River.
Native Americans created this reverse mound between 700 and 1200 AD, making it the last remaining intaglio effigy mound of ten known in Wisconsin.
The mound represents indigenous engineering practices and demonstrates Native American ceremonial traditions through its deliberate design and spiritual significance.
Visitors can access this National Historic Place within a city park, where preservation measures require following specific guidelines to protect the archaeological site.
Increase A. Lapham discovered this two-foot-deep excavated formation in 1850, documenting it among eight intaglios found during his Wisconsin survey.
