Watson Brake is an archaeological site in present-day Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, from the Archaic period. Dated to about 5400 years ago (approx. 3500 BCE), Watson Brake is considered the oldest earthwork mound complex in North America. It is older than the Ancient Egyptian pyramids or Britain’s Stonehenge. Its discovery and dating in a paper published in 1997 changed the ideas of American archaeologists about ancient cultures in the Southeastern United States and their ability to manage large, complex projects over centuries. The archeologists revised their date of the oldest earthwork construction by nearly 2000 years, as well as having to recognize that it was developed over centuries by a hunter-gatherer society, rather than by what was known to be more common of other, later mound sit

  • Watson Brake ist ein archäologischer Fundort aus der mittleren Archaischen Periode südlich von Monroe, im Ouachita Parish, Louisiana. Gefunden wurde ein komplexes Erdwerk aus elf als Mounds bezeichneten künstlichen Erdhügeln unterschiedlicher Höhe, die durch mehrere lang gestreckte Rücken zu einem Oval mit etwa 300 m in Ost-West- und rund 200 m in Nord-Süd-Richtung auf einer Gesamtfläche von etwa neun Hektar verbunden sind. Die Mounds einer Jäger-, Sammler- und Fischerkultur werden auf 3500–3000 v. Chr. datiert und stellen damit das älteste bekannte komplexe Bauwerk in Amerika da. (de)

  • Watson Brake è un sito archeologico preistorico che si trova nella Parrocchia di Ouachita nella Louisiana nord-orientale negli Stati Uniti. Il sito è posto nella pianura alluvionale del fiume Ouachita a circa 15 km a sud di Monroe. Il sito appartiene alla fase Arcaica della preistoria americana e contiene i resti di 11 tumuli collegati fra loro da un crinale che formano un ovale con il diametro maggiore lungo 280 metri. Il tumulo più grande, il tumulo A (rinominato Gentry Mound in onore della famiglia proprietaria del terreno) è alto 7,5 m., mentre gli altri sono fra 4,5 e 1 metri di altezza. La datazione dei reperti effettuata con il metodo del carbonio-14 indica che essi datano a circa 5400-5300 anni prima del presente, ossia a circa il 3400 a.C. essi sono pertanto i più antichi del nord (it)
  • Уотсон-Брейк (англ. Watson Brake) ― археологический памятник, расположенный в приходе Уошито штата Луизиана в США. Он был построен предками современных индейцев в период с VI по IV тысячелетие до н.э. Уотсон-Брейк считается старейшим комплексом земляных насыпей в Северной Америке ― он старше древнеегипетских пирамид и британского Стоунхенджа. Его открытие в начале 1980-х годов изменило представления американских археологов о древних культурах на юго-востоке США. Уотсон-Брейк был окончательно заброшен около 4800 лет назад после того, как река Арканзас изменила своё русло. (ru)
