Lake Jackson Mounds in the Florida Panhandle Mark a Rectangle of Stars Left of the Head of Cetus at the Lower End of Taurus

The Lake Jackson mounds at the Lake Jackson Mounds Archaeological State Park in the Florida Panhandle clearly mark a rectangle of stars on the edge of Cetus and at the extended end of Taurus, i.e. the stars Omicron Tauri and Xi Tauri and neighboring stars to the left of the head of Cetus (see also Florida State Parks). In our decipherment image below, the Lake Jackson mound section is highlighted in the light red box toward the middle and bottom left.


The stars represented at the Lake Jackson Mounds in rectangular form are the row of stars at 5 Tauri, 4 Tauri, and 6 Tauri and the row of stars at HIP15850, Xi Tauri and Omicron Tauri, with the lone star 30 Tauri to their left. Note that I have turned the star rectangle 180° here from what I had in the previous image. Sorry, it was an oversight and has now been corrected in the original Florida mounds posting also with insertion of the above image.

The mound location placements are based on a diagram in  William N. Morgan, Precolumbian Architecture in Eastern North America, Ripley P. Bullen Series, Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida Press, Gainesville, FL, 1999, http://www.upf.com/.
