If you're talking about multiple tombs (more than 1 tumulus) then it's not a geological feature. Therefore my interpretation is that no, you cannot use it.

 

Tumulus

[+bones1]

Its one tumuli on its own, a mound of EARTH,so to me a good candidate for an Earth cache.jeff

My take on it.

It has to be natural.

Tumuli are man-made.

Therefore No.

 

BUT.

I seem to think there was an 'historic' possibility for Earthcaches?

I don't see any reason that you cannot go ahead with the EC.

There are many, many "mound(s)" ECs. They vary from the grand daddy Cahokia Mounds (GC1FXND) to a single mound, the Ely Indian Mound (GC1KKPG). I also don't see much geological implication with them but they are there and are nice to see.

Marge and I found the Cahokia Mounds last week and were we impressed. We didn't know that there was an ancient culture like the Incas right here in the US. Trouble is, they made their city out of dirt mounds instead of stone like the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans. Similar cultures, just different building materials.

Good luck.

P.S. All are man made.

There are a few Archeological/Historical ECs that deal w/the Hopewell and Adena Cultures aka Mound builders in Ohio. Their references are of a lunar and astrological nature, which allow them to fall into the EC category. Any chance of that in this case?
