But technology may finally be
revealing the likely architects
of the Mima Mounds - not the native inhabitants
of the Pacific Northwest, since we found no archaeological
evidence of human habitation, not clay-rich soil expanding
and shrinking with the seasons, as our electrical testing
revealed no clay content, and not seismic activity, which tends
to leave crevices, not pimples - instead, the Mima Mounds appear to be
the work of generations of gophers, busily moving soil up from below and leaving behind a landscape
like no other
