Turpin Site, Archaeological site in Hamilton County, Ohio, United States.
The Turpin Site contains remains of a Fort Ancient culture village with multiple burial mounds situated near Newtown in southwestern Ohio.
Local inhabitants initiated exploration of the Turpin Site in the late 1700s, discovering three mounds and a Native American cemetery containing fifty skeletons.
The primary mound measured 10 feet in height with a 175-foot circumference base, serving as a reference point along the Cincinnati-Batavia road.
The Cincinnati Museum of Natural History conducted extensive excavations in 1947, revealing over sixty burials within the main Fort Ancient mound.
The Turpin family maintains ownership of the site, currently operating a sod farming business while preserving the archaeological features.
