Tremper Mound and Works
Tremper Mound and Works, Ancient Native American archaeological site in Scioto County, United States.
The Tremper earthwork features an oval enclosure measuring 480 by 407 feet, containing a central mound on the Scioto River floodplain terrace.
The Ohio Historical Society conducted excavations in 1915, revealing a wooden structure measuring 200 feet long by 100 feet wide at the base of the mound.
Excavations uncovered 136 smoking pipes, including 90 effigy pipes carved to represent different animals important to Hopewell indigenous ceremonies.
The 706-acre preserve offers hiking trails and educational opportunities for visitors from sunrise to sunset at 20580 SR-73 McDermott, Ohio.
Scientific analysis determined that the majority of pipes found at the site were crafted from Sterling pipestone sourced from northwestern Illinois.
