	Davenport Conspiracy
		The Moundbuilders are the ancient peoples who build the multitude of mounds and ruins discovered by the American colonists, and later settlers, who moved into previously unexplored regions of North America.
		Some authorities claimed that the Moundbuilders were the ancestors of modern Native Americans: Others, however, did not believe such "savages" could be possibly be descended from the "ancient lost Moundbuilder race." Even as early as 1856, the "lost race" theory was challenged, but the debate continued well into the 1890s (Willey and Sabloff 1993:42-45).
		As the Moundbuilder myth was demolished by Cyrus Thomas and his Smithsonian colleagues, scholars started to recognize the complexity of American Indian cultures.

	Moundbuilder
		Moundbuilder culture began in northeast Louisiana and spread inland along the Mississippi–Missouri–Ohio river system.
		Some mounds were linear effigy forms, such as the Great Serpent Mound in Ohio, with flat-topped pyramids and cones for the platforms of chiefs' houses and temples.
		The Moundbuilders were in decline by the time the Spanish arrived in the 17th century, but traces of their culture live on in the folklore of the Choctaw and Cherokee.

	BBC - h2g2 - Archaeology: The Moundbuilder Controversy - A546248
		The "Moundbuilder Controversy", as it is called, is a story that shows how cultural stereotypes can be disputed by archaeological evidence.
		The most popular school of thought was that the "moundbuilders" were an advanced civilization that had been wiped out by the "savages" that now occupied the area around the mounds.
		This hard evidence required scholars to re-look their previous speculations about the Native Americans, and put aside European racist thought that the Indians were not advanced enough to build the mounds.

		Josiah Priest's American Antiquities and Discoveries in the West (1833) claimed that the remains were built by a lost race of civilized "Moundbuilders" who were exterminated with the arrival of the Indians.

		In 1949, Squier did a study of several mounds in western New York and discovered evidence to indicate the Iroquois were responsible for the mounds in that region.

		Over time these early Indians evolved into a Woodlands culture that inhabited the area when an early Moundbuilder culture moved in, building a temple mound opposite the confluence of Peachtree Creek and the Chattahoochee.
