print
of
Serpent
Mound
in
Adams
County
,
Ohio
was
made
from a
glass
plate
negative
taken
by
David
Gardner
in
1906
. This
view
shows
the
coils
of the
serpent's
tail
.
One
of the
few
effigy
mounds
in
Ohio
,
Serpent
Mound
is
the
largest
and
finest
serpent
effigy
in the
United
States
.
Nearly
a
quarter
of a
mile
long
,
Serpent
Mound
apparently
represents
an
uncoiling
serpent
. The
effigy
mound
lies
on a
plateau
overlooking
the
valley
of
Brush
Creek
.
Nearby
conical
mounds
contained
burials
and
implements
characteristic
of the
prehistoric
Adena
people
(800
B.C.-.A.D
.
100)
.
Many
questions
surround
the
meaning
of
Serpent
Mound
, but there
is
little
doubt
it
symbolized
some
religious
or
mythical
principle
for its
builders
.
Creator
Gardner, David
Date of Original
1906
