Monk's Mound


Monk's Mound is the largest precolumbian earthwork in North America, north of Mexico. As such, the mound has been a subject of detailed archaeological research over the years, including mapping. Some time ago one of these maps was digitized at the ISM GIS Lab into ARC/INFO, and the data from this coverage have been used as a testing place for several forms of visualization.

These MPEG-encoded videos are "first drafts," and we are just learning the methods of moving ARC/INFO data into animations.
