Ellis Mounds, Archaeological burial ground in Ohio, United States.
Ellis Mounds contains multiple earthen structures built for ceremonial and burial purposes, located on elevated terrain near the Great Miami River.
The site dates back to 1499 BC and shows evidence of occupation by Adena, Hopewell, Woodland, and Mississippian cultures through different construction phases.
The mounds demonstrate how Native American societies used elevated structures for burial practices and territorial marking across the central Ohio Valley.
The archaeological site maintains preservation status under the National Register of Historic Places, with supervised access for research and educational purposes.
Archaeological investigations revealed distinct layered construction techniques, including overlapping stone formations that suggest original stone exterior surfaces.
