Native American Tribal Arts & Architecture
NORTHEAST ARCHITECTURE - PREHISTORIC
 

First & Second Line Classification

    1st line #/#
    2nd line cutter #
The first line number of Northeast architecture classification defines cultural time period. The second line number of Northeast prehistoric architecture defines region and specific site name(US state, county, township, town, geographical location).

Earthworks, including effigy mounds and earth enclosures, are considered "architectural structures," not sites. The name of a specific earthwork, such as Serpent Mound, is expressed in the third line and not in the second line site definition. Significant and named earthwork structures, currently in the collection, are listed under the site name below, and third line definitions for these structures may be found listed in the Northeast Structure Index.

The second line number of Northeast historic architecture defines tribe and specific site name. For subheadings, use cutter # of heading unless indicated otherwise. Specific sites listed exist in the collection currently, not potentially.

When images belonging to unlisted sites are added to the collection, please add new site names with corresponding classification # to

  1. this list and
  2. the Native American Tribal Architecture Site Index.
When images of named earthwork structures not listed are added to the collection, please add structure names to
  1. this list, and
  2. the Northeast Prehistoric Structure Index.
