Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the archaeological mysteries surrounding the ancient mound builders at Mille Lac, Minnesota, a region discovered by European explorers in the 17th century.

Through a rigorous analysis of artifacts such as copper crescents, int tools, earthen pots, and stone implements, the author uncovers the cultural practices, beliefs, and artistry of the Mille Lac mound builders.
