摘要丘底(40CH8)是一个由14个史前丘陵组成的大型建筑群，位于田纳西州切瑟姆县哈佩斯河的马蹄形弯道上，哈佩斯河是坎伯兰的一条支流。在20世纪上半叶，它与以南3公里处的另一个被称为帕克遗址(40CH1)的土丘群一起，受到了零星的考古关注，但直到1974年，才在两个土丘中心进行了系统的工作。在那一年和第二年的大部分时间里，对丘底进行了详细的测绘，并进行了挖掘，以记录丘基结构和群落结构的变化范围。对6个土堆进行了测试，19座房屋被部分或全部挖掘。房屋类型包括单座式立柱结构和墙槽式结构。校准过的放射性碳从丘底开始，时间跨度约为600年，从8世纪到14世纪。
Abstract Mound Bottom (40CH8) is a large complex of 14 prehistoric mounds located in a horseshoe-shaped bend of the Harpeth River, a tributary of the Cumberland, in Cheatham County, Tennessee. It, together with another mound group 3 km to the south known as the Pack site (40CH1), received sporadic archaeological attention during the first half of the twentieth century, but it was not until 1974 that systematic work was carried out at either mound center. Over portions of that and the following year, Mound Bottom was mapped in detail and excavations were carried out to document the range in variability of mound construction and community structure. Six mounds were tested and 19 houses were partially or totally excavated. House types included both single-set-post structures and wall-trench structures. Calibrated radiocarbon dates from Mound Bottom span about a 600-year period from the eighth through the fourteenth centuries.
