Earth Lodge

 

Ocmulgee National Monument, Macon, Georgia

The Ceremonial Earthlodge has been rebuilt on the 1000 year old

original floor.

 

An earth lodge is a semi-subterranean building covered partially or completely with earth, best known from the Native American cultures of the Great Plains and Eastern Woodlands. Most earth lodges are circular in construction with a dome-like roof, often with a central or slightly offset smoke hole at the apex of the dome. Earth lodges are well-known from the more-sedentary tribes of the Plains such as the Hidatsa, Mandan, and Arikara, but they have also been identified archaeologically among sites of the Mississippian culture in the Eastern United States.

 

Thank you Carleen (postcrossing) for this amazing Native American

card, it's the first time for me learning about such lodges.
