  1. Henry Reynolds (archaeologist)

    Henry Reynolds was an important Archaeology Archaeologist in Georgia U.S. state Georgia . In 1888, Henry L. Reynolds joined the Mound Exploration Division of the Bureau of American Ethnology . The purpose of this division, directed by Cyrus Thomas , was to conduct an extensive survey of Indian mounds in the eastern United States. While the Mound Exploration Division investigated mound sites in many eastern states, Reynolds performed most of his research in South Carolina and Georgia U.S. state Georgia . In fact, Reynolds excavations at the Hollywood Mounds site, located on a bend of the Savannah River about ten miles south of Augusta, Georgia are thought to be the most proficient excavation undertaken in Georgia during the Bureau s involvement. The Hollywood Mounds site consists of two medium sized platform mounds. Reynolds fully excavated the smaller of the two mounds and discovered many elaborate artifacts belonging to the Southern Cult , as well as several burials. In his investigations of the Hollywood Mounds site, Reynolds considered the site inside of an ecological setting he was one of the first archaeologists in the world to think of any site in an ecological context. Many consider Reynolds to be the first modern archaeologist in Georgia. After the Mound Exploration project came to a close, Reynolds was the only assistant retained by the Bureau. In 1894, while completing the project s report, Cyrus Thomas sent Reynolds back to Georgia and South Carolina to retrieve some final information. After finishing at the Hollywood site, Reynolds proceeded to South Carolina, where he took ill and died suddenly in the field. Further reading Williams, Stephen, ed. The Waring Papers .

  1. William Pidgeon (archaeologist)

    William Pidgeon ca. 1800 ca. 1880 was an antiquarian and archaeologist most famous for his 1858 work, Traditions of Dee Coo Dah and Antiquarian Researches , a putative history about lost tribes of the Upper Mississippi and the mounds they left behind. This book was eventually revealed to be partly a hoax, and partly embellishment of actual research. Combining elaborate sketches and maps of mound groups in Wisconsin , Iowa , Illinois , and Minnesota , Pidgeon claimed to have discovered an elaborate network of coded earthen symbols used by an ancient race that predated Native Americans one of the last survivors of this putative race, Dee Coo Dah , was interviewed by Pidgeon. ref Pidgeon, William 1858 Traditions of Dee Coo Dah and Antiquarian Researches . Horace Thayer, New York. ref Eventually his work became popular in the late 19th century, when there were numerous myths about pre Indian mound builders, and Pidgeon s book went through at least three printings, making him a fortune. The famed archaeologist Theodore H. Lewis later revealed that Pidgeon had fabricated most of his research, and distorted much of the rest of it, mapping mounds where none existed, and changing the arrangement of existing mound groups to suit his needs. Pidgeon appears to have died in obscurity in Calhoun County, Illinois ca. 1880. ref Lewis, Theodore H. 1886 The Monumental Tortoise Mounds of Dee Coo Dah The American Journal of Archaeology 2 1 65 69. ref ref Finney, Fred 2008 William Pidgeon and T.H.
