Revealed to be a leading site by the construction of a railroad, it yielded a large and highly informational number of artifacts and buried bodies. It is the type site of the Glacial Kame Culture: all other sites of the same culture are measured against it. ==Background== Located between the villages of Ridgeway and Mount Victory in southeastern Hardin County's Hale Township, it consisted of a large kame of gravel that had been desposited by glaciers. In the first years of white settlement of Ohio, the kame was not widely known to be an archaeological site; locals found artifacts and skeletons there, but news of its existence first reached a wider audience in 1856. In that year, the Bellefontaine and Indiana Railroad began constructing a rail line between Mount Victory and Ridgeway. Because the railroad needed significant amounts of gravel for track ballast purposes, a small spur line was built from the main line to the base of the hill, enabling workers to shovel gravel into rail cars that were then taken to the construction zone.〔Converse, Robert N. ''The Archaeology of Ohio''. Columbus: Archaeological Society of Ohio, 2003.〕 Prior to their excavations, it appeared to be a simple hill, about in area and covered with an apple orchard; before the apple trees were planted, it had been the site of an unusually dense and lush woodland.〔Cunningham, Wilbur M.
