They also ignited a controversy that continues to have repercussions throughout archaeological and American Indian communities.The Spiro Mounds contained some of the most impressive preColumbian Indian art ever found. In Looting Spiro Mounds, David La Vere takes readers behind the scenes of this discovery to recreate a Great Depressionera archaeological adventure worthy of Indiana Jones.The looting of the mounds is considered one of the major archaeological tragedies of all time. Today Spiro artifacts are scattered among the worlds museums, with some still circulating in the antiquities market and eagerly snatched up by collectors. La Vere weaves a compelling story of grave robbers and lost treasures as he pieces together the puzzle of the civilization that thrived at Spiro from A.D. 800 to 1450.
