256A: Tale of a girl buried in a mound

I was 11 or 12 when I read an age-appropriate book about a mound burial of a young girl. It took place in the southeast. It had an archaeological aspect—the items found in the burial were used to tell the story of this young girl. “The Lock,” “The Tell,” “The Mound”—I recall it was a one-word one-syllable title. “The Loor”—spelling? comes to mind as possible title. I checked it out twice from my hometown library as an elementary grade student but when I went back to find it as a high school student I could not. This would have been in the 1960s that I read it.

    I remember reading a book by Jane Louise Curry that seemed similar to that, but I can’t remember the title. I thought it was called The Mound Builders, but she doesn’t seem to have one with that title. After looking at her titles online, it could be Beneath the Hill. Maybe.
