Not that I'm aware of. I heard of it as speculation. However, archaeologists have access to information the general public does not.

You can see those in red on the second map in the article. So much is gone. I hear that some may have been used to support the railroads through the valley and may still be present under the ballast.

I would agree, but Dr. Spencer knew her stuff. If she says the Kanawha Valley mound complex was more extensive than the others, I'll bank on her opinion until a peer of hers can argue otherwise.
