Traditionally, cemeteries in Southern Appalachia featured mounded graves and scraped, grassless ground. Acrocarps are thick, upright, mounded/clumping in habit, and slower-growing. Giant elongate drifts form very large mounded elongated geometries parallel to the deepwater bottom-current flow. Dumpy and mounded, cone shapes lie scattered throughout the Trona Pinnacles. Indian women mounded piles of earth and vegetation, planting the maize on top. The line was marked by mile posts mounded and trenched. The walls of stone also incorporated ramparts of mounded earth. Today, Appalachian cemeteries can also be landscaped with grass without mounded graves. The andesite cap is covered by the fourth region, mounded prairie. The hilltop comprises a twin summit system and the mounded defences divide into three systems. At the front of the churchyard are the remains of an ancient mounded cross. Such stone mounded tombs only existed in the Shinar Era. Sides and roofs were mounded with dirt for extra protection and disguise from aerial view. Two types of amphibians are found in the mounded prairie region, typically around vernal pools. Two more mounded family vaults are located against the rear wall.
