Some mounds were constructed around important public structures, such as temples. A temple would be built, then after a generation, destroyed and covered with earth. Some mounds were created to house burials. Some, such as the Great Serpent Mound in Ohio, are astronomical observations and are aligned with equinoxes or solstices. Some are effigy mounds, that is they are sculpted into representational forms, such as a giant bird. Mounds can be sites of elite houses, council houses, and temples and would be protected from flooding from nearby rivers.

The Mound Builders were a diverse group of ancient indigenous cultures that primarily inhabited regions of the eastern United States, particularly the Ohio River Valley, the Mississippi River Valley, and parts of the Great Lakes. They are best known for constructing large earthen mounds for various purposes, including burial, ceremonial, and political uses. Significant sites include Cahokia in Illinois and various mound complexes in Ohio, such as those found in Newark and Chillicothe.
The ancient Native American culture that used to build these mounds in this area were called Fort Ancient.
