Black and White Photographic Print affixed to 5"X8" card stock
Black and white reproduction of a color slide.
The stockade will be approximately twelve feet high. This is in accordance with rather vague data left us by early European visitors to such villages. This picture is a view to the southwest toward the village from the terrace east of the swale which intervenes. From this terrace the stockade would obscure from view all dwellings except those important structures which were erected on mound-tops. These were, of course, too far "inland" from the stockade to be vulnerable to a detailed view or attack. The crest of Mound A is, of course, much above the top of the stockade as can be seen in this picture but it would have been an imposing sight to see, with its incumbant cluster of buildings presumably housing the chief and his group of followers.
