Seip Earthworks is a complex masterpiece of ancient Indigenous landscape architecture. Miles of earthen walls encompass vast sacred spaces laid out in precise geometric forms aligned to the cyclical movements of the Sun and Moon. The centerpiece of this expansive composition is an enormous burial monument that forever connects the communities of the present to those of the American Indian ancestors. Surrounding it all is an unseen archaeological landscape filled with remnants of ritual architecture, craft workshops, and everyday settlements. Park Archaeologist Dr. Bret J. Ruby will lead a walking tour of this hidden Hopewell landscape.
