A Grassroots Effort

The Moundbuilders Country Club, however, continues to restrict admission to the Octagon Site, despite language in its lease that requires the provision of public access. Shiels is confident that public opinion will win out in the long run. The debate has drawn attention from the likes of The New York Times, which ran an article last year pointing out that the club is restricting access to one of the 70 wonders of the world. Dr. Chris Scarre, an Oxford University archaeologist, included the Earthworks in his recent book, The Seventy Wonders of the Ancient World.

Whatever the outcome, it is clear that the Earthworks Center on the Newark campus will be at the heart of it all.
