Abstract:
Thanks to Joffre Lanning Coe, an archaeology professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Town Creek Indian Mount was reconstructed. The site is the state's only prehistoric National Historic Landmark, and looks today as it did 500 years ago when inhabited by Creek Indians. First acquainted with the mound in 1936, Coe has spent much of his life researching and overseeing the restoration of the area. The landmark is now open to the public.
