On the Land map

Look closely at the southwest corner of the state: The pronounced straight line of dots shows hundreds of archaeological sites that were uncovered while an energy pipeline was being built. That straight line does not mean that early Native Americans happened to live exactly where the pipeline is today: Rather, it reflects the incredible number of archaeological sites that probably cover the entire state of Alabama.
