Mysterious circle found at Fort Ancient complex: "Mysterious circle found at Fort Ancient complexTechnology helps in discovery of site worked since the 1800s By Benjamin Kline Dayton Daily News LEBANON | The Ohio Historical Society has announced the discovery of a circle approximately three feet below grade within its Fort Ancient complex, on a bluff above the Little Miami River, seven miles southeast of Lebanon." "We assume it's a structure built by the Hopewell culture," said Brad Lepper, curator of archeology at the historical society in Columbus. Why did prehistoric American Indians build an earthen circle 200 feet in diameter at their Fort Ancient religious center? Was it mounded up, then flattened out? Or was it a ditch that later was filled in? What ceremonies did they hold there? Archeologists could take years digging for the right answers, beating the drum of scientific inquiry.
