Thought this might be of interest, from an old rejected article:
Variations in outline design of
rectangular mounds with hollows. Styles A-D may be tall and up to 40 feet
across; styles E-H are usually low to the ground and less than ~15 feet across.
Style I is a crescent shape, usually ~20 feet across.
