Listeros,

Archaeology students have been digging at the Broaddus site in Ohio and have found a Fort Ancient Village dated at 1300 CE. It was a medium sized circular village with a plaza and a burial mound. 200 lived here. Arrow heads, sherds, burials have been uncovered. There is evidence of long distance trade. A chlorite ornament came from North Carolina and a marine shell bead from the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Coast.
