Hubele Mounds and Village Site
History
Near Maunie in southeastern Illinois, Hubele Mounds and Village Site occupied slightly raised ground by the Wabash River and originally included seven small mounds with a village area beside them. Though the mounds have not survived intact, the village has yielded postholes, pits, and many artifacts, including pottery, projectile points, knives, shells, bones, and a distinctive pipestone pipe. Excavations in 1950 found more than two thousand grog-tempered pottery sherds and flint traced to quarries in Indiana. Because scholars have long debated whether the site dates to the Hopewellian era or a later Duffy-related occupation, it remains a key prehistoric site in the lower Wabash Valley.
