Interesting info, Dave. I'm not sure about astronomical observations.
What I find interesting is that our rivers are prone to flooding in heavy rains and this site does appear to be in the flood plain.
So how many times did the river rise and yet the mounds are still there.
Here is a model (from inside the on-site museum) of how they believe the
village was configured. You can still see the remnants of the "borrow pit" where they took soil to build the mounds.
