Construction

ASHLEY County issued the following announcement on Sept. 7.

Poverty Point World Heritage Site, just South and East of us, near Delhi, LA. We’ve discussed this place a few times on this page. 

A lot of that particular culture’s artifacts are regularly found in Ashley County.

From the article:

“Poverty Point in northern Louisiana is one of the first US civilizations on record, inhabited by a community of Native Americans as early as 1700 BCE. In a new study, researchers have shown these inhabitants to be highly skilled engineers, rather than the simpler hunter-gatherers they're often portrayed as.”
