Orators Mound
The Orators Mound is a Native American mound in the western part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Although its cultural affiliation is disputed, it is an important archaeological site.
==Geographic context and early history==
In 1908, forty-one different earthworks were known in Greene County.〔Broadstone, M.A., ed. ''History of Greene County Ohio: Its People, Industries and Institutions''. Vol. 1. Indianapolis: Bowen, 1918, 76.〕 One of these is located atop the cliffs near a large natural spring called the "Yellow Spring", close to the village of Yellow Springs.〔Dills, R.S. ''(History of Greene County, Together with Historic Notes on the Northwest, and the State of Ohio )''. Dayton: Odell and Mayer, 1881.〕 Because of its location near the spring, it was plainly known throughout much of prehistory.〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 1. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999, 543-544.〕 During the 1840 election campaign, the mound served as an orator's platform for Daniel Webster and Henry Clay, who spoke before a great audience on the same summer afternoon.〔 Until it was excavated in 1953, the mound was built of stone and measured in diameter and high, although its size may have grown since white settlement of the region, since locals are known to have added earth to the mound to resist erosion.〔Case, D. Troy, and Christopher Carr. ''The Scioto Hopewell and Their Neighbors: Bioarchaeological Documentation and Cultural Understanding''. New York: Springer, 2007, 360.〕 Today, the mound is located within the Glen Helen Nature Preserve,〔Bennish, Steve. "(Glen Helen Parlays Grant Funds Into Big Upgrades )", ''Dayton Daily News'', 2010-11-12. Accessed 2012-12-22.〕 a National Natural Landmark.〔(Ohio ), National Park Service, 2012-06-28.
