Ancient and Not So Ancient Burial Practices

The following convo was bought over from another topic-

This isn't a theory of mine. It's information (facts) from a government website that I found.

Many major cities are now built on ancient Indian burial grounds. I'll Google some more stuff and see if I can find an example of these above ground cemetary sites in use today.

I thought you said on 'stilts'?

Okay, check out this picture: flickr.com/photos/38145995@N00/140619316/
Behind the tree on the right, you'll see what looks like a high pile of weeds. It's not and I don't think the lady taking the picture noticed it. It's actually over a grave (I had to get out of the car to check it out.)

Yes, it looks like built up debris from the plants that are growing there.

Not to mention that many cemetaries really pile on the dirt to avoid a depression in the soil once it all settles. Then they might pile up all of the flowers from the funeral parlor on top of that.

Okay, okay, alright, already.
I'm just going to have to go out there and take pictures myself. I just find it hard to believe that my wife and I are the only people to have seen this, but I can't find any mention of it anywhere.
I know there may be rational explantions, but if I were a betting man (Tunica, huh?), I'm taking the side that they are voodoo ritual sites.
