Serpent Mound: World Heritage nomination documentation, the Ohio History Connection and Ohio State University's Newark Earthworks Center's own 2024 nomination file, sets out the case for the effigy mound's inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Its strength is that it comes directly from the institutions responsible for the site and its scholarly study, with citations to the underlying archaeological record. Its limit is that it is an advocacy document written to support a nomination, not a neutral peer reviewed study, so specific dating claims should be checked against the archaeological literature it cites.
