The record — long form
Marksville is the Hopewell — the 'type site' that's the culture, the 'A.D. 1-400' that's the used. The 6 are the mounds — the '60 acres' that's the covered, the '3,300 feet' that's the embankment. The 'Mound 4' is the burial — the '36' that's the people, the 'logs and cane' that's the tombs.
The 'rings' are the unique — the 'no other' that's the Hopewell, the 'white earth' that's the symbolic. The 'stage' is the Mound 6 — the '300 feet' that's the diameter, the 'single act' that's the built. Marksville is the connection — the 'Ohio' that's the north, the 'Louisiana' that's the south.
