That looks like an interesting village/museum.

Over by where I used to hunt there are several mounds that are about 30' high and 100 yards across where the Indians lived for 12,000 years. The mounds are made from Indian discards. They did a dig on one mound and built a museum that I visited. In the museum they left a burial area where they excavated around the bones. Basically the dead got pitched in one area and covered with dirt. Not laid to rest, pitched in. Them that landed on their face with feet in the air got covered that way. Some Indian group wanted the bones back so plastic replicas were made and the bones were given back.
