#109 Poverty Point NM

“Poverty Point is the largest and most complex Late Archaic earthwork occupation and ceremonial site yet found in North America”. This is part of the Statement of Significance during June 13, 1962 for the placement of the site in the National Historic Landmark Program. The site is listed in the sites of the National Park Service, although the land has not changed hands from the State of Louisiana to the Department of the Interior. It is currently run by the State Parks of Louisiana.
