SPIRO MOUND

Spiro, OK.

10’ Diameter

FŌTERA® Concrete Terrazzo

2010

A 6′ diameter signage icon was created out of FŌTERA® concrete terrazzo, inspired by an original ink-wash painting of the “Raccoon Warrior” by Donald R. Johnson for the Spiro Mounds Archeological Center, the only prehistoric American Indian archeological site in Oklahoma open to the public. One of the most important American Indian sites in the nation, the Spiro Mounds are world renowned because of the incredible amount of art and artifacts dug from the Craig Mound, the site’s only burial mound. Home to rich cultural resources, the Spiro Mounds were created and used by the Caddoan speaking American Indians between 850 and 1450 AD.
