Largest, but least interpretive.
Kolomoki Mounds Historic Park的点评
点评:This site should give thanks to the small display at the Flint Riverquarium for sharing of them, or maybe vice versa for architectural influence. Our family road trip stopped into this largest mound culture site in GA to find it open, but with little interpretation going on. The store was the largest interpretive experience for my family since the museum was closed for repairs. The 6th grader I was with had questions about the historic living structure near the parking lot, which made its presence welcoming. However, the drive and walk to the base of the largest temple mound was rather uninspiring to the family. I had to keep reminding modern humans, my family, that the mound was made without metal tools-machines. It would’ve been nicer if the young person collecting our entrance fee and/or signage along the shaded trail to the front of the mound may have provided some stimulating questions/information over the site/environment. Yes, there’s signage at the base of the mound’s steps, but by the time get to that location, the inspiration to “conquer” the steps to the summit is more powerful than reading something. It’s a challenge competing with the location and more resources of say the Ocmulgee site, but I hope managers of this site will continue to strive in improving the importance of interpreting this special place. In saving places like this, we are competing with the modern human experience where landfills and high school football fields are bigger than this temple mound. Thus, interpreting well these sites is crucial.
翻译:这个地方应该感谢弗林特河水族馆(Flint Riverquarium)的小型展览分享这些内容,或者反过来说,感谢它对建筑的影响。我们一家自驾游时,顺便去了佐治亚州最大的土墩文化遗址,发现它开放了,但几乎没有任何解说。自从博物馆因维修而关闭以来,这家商店成了我们家最大的解说体验。和我一起的六年级学生对停车场附近的历史居住建筑提出了一些疑问,这让它显得格外温馨。然而,开车和步行到最大的寺庙土墩底部的路程,对一家人来说相当乏味。我不得不不断提醒我的家人,这些现代人,这座土墩的建造过程中没有使用金属工具和机器。如果在通往土墩前的林荫小道上收取门票和/或指示牌的年轻人能提供一些关于遗址/环境的有趣问题/信息就更好了。是的,土丘台阶底部有指示牌,但到达那里时,“征服”通往顶峰的台阶的动力比阅读任何东西都更强大。与奥克穆尔吉遗址等地的地理位置和更多资源竞争是一项挑战,但我希望该遗址的管理者能够继续努力,提升对这个特殊地点的解读重要性。在拯救这样的地方时,我们正在与现代人类的经验竞争,在那里,垃圾填埋场和高中足球场比这座寺庙土丘更大。因此,对这些遗址进行良好的解读至关重要。
