THE MOUND PROJECT is a photographic series focused on present day sites where ancient burial mounds once stood. In Detroit, where one small mound remains today, hundreds were ransacked and leveled by pothunters, grave robbers, farmers, and developers. Some of the largest conical mounds were documented at over 40 feet tall and 300 feet across, and many were demolished long before the idea of anthropology existed. In their places now sit brownfields, old factories, blight ridden streets, a virtually no evidence of the ancient past.
