Why aren't the Indian Mounds better protected?

They are 5000 year old landmarks that may have been used for burial(most likely not according to most reports).
I had a blast sliding down them as a kid but that is a pretty cool thing to have on a college campus.

I know, it's crazy. They're as old as the Pyramids of Giza.

People like you suck. They keep kids off them, you are just making shite up to complain about.

Have there been any Indian Mound bomb threats recently?
Perhaps someone could sneak away from campus with them in a great heist like The Thomas Crown Affair?

copied your question to google:

“Currently, Facility Services is working to identify operational resources to install security fencing around the excavation location. This is necessary to protect the integrity of the site and the safety of our students, faculty, staff and visitors who travel in the area around the Indian Mounds on a daily basis. This is also the commitment we made to the public towards long term preservation of the mounds,” said Lombardo.
But Lombardo assured the next step in saving the mounds is coming soon.

My plan is to get laid on that mound before I graduate.

They are not that rare. I've seen Indian mounds in many different places. Having them in the middle of campus is cool though. When I was at LSU, you drive you truck right over them anytime you wanted.

Did they ever figure out what the hell they were used for? I've spent the last 15 minutes googling trying to find out and none of the "stories" (looked more like blog entries and tourist type blurbs than actual news articles) I've found even try to give a definitive answer.
Most of the stories were from like 2010. Kind of a piss poor job of archeology if you ask me, especially for a site in the middle of a college campus.
For some reason, I've always thought that most of the hill like structures from native american cultures that are found were like their garbage dumps of wasted disposal areas. Don't know if that's the case here but if people want things preserved it might help to establish exactly what the things are.

That has been confirmed many times. They were NOT used for burials
