Caborn-Welborn Culture - Location

Location

The Caborn-Welborn culture is a cluster of more than 80 sites located mostly on ridges along the Wabash River and Ohio River from Geneva, Kentucky to the mouth of the Saline River, although most are concentrated near the confluence of the Ohio and Wabash Rivers. The sites range in size from 0.6 acres (2,400 m2) to 35 acres (140,000 m2) for the larger villages. Most sites are located on the higher flood plain ridges, usually situated near sloughs and swamps. The Ohio River floodplain of this region has an extensive system of natural levees which parallel the river, with sloughs and swampy areas in between the levees.
