Step 2: Import location and image map of earthworks from Google Earth to Google SketchUp.
Step 3. Trace the outline of the earthwork in SketchUp and extrude along the path the earthwork cross section (using the FollowMe tool).
Step 4. Fine tune the model and the surrounding geography by using the SketchUp tools.
Step 5. Upload the model to Google Earth by selecting Preview unthe SketchUp File tab.
Step 6. In Google Earth you can adjust the amount of light, the angle of the sun, and make astronomical alignments (note the stars in the sky).

Ancient earthworks have been found throughout the Eastern Woodlands, however, many of these sites are not visible today because of site erosion and modern development. The following site is intended to be a tool for researchers to reconstruct and analyze these ancient earthworks in their intended three dimensional settings.

How We Created the Reconstructions (Part 1)
Step 1: Locate an existing map of an earthwork within Google Earth (.kmz file extension). In some cases, this had already been done by James Jacobs on his website Ancient Earthworks of Eastern North America. In other cases, we had to upload maps into Google Earth and locate them to known earthwork sites (Case and Carr 2008, Chapter 7).
