In The Mound Builders, a team of archaeologists confront the force of ambition and experiences clashes of gender, class, and culture as they excavate the remains of a Native American civilization in an Illinois town. The play, which premiered at Circle Rep in 1975, was described by The New York Times as Wilson's "most ambitious work."

During his lifetime, playwright Lanford Wilson won numerous awards, including the Brandeis Creative Arts Award, The Institute of Arts and Letters Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. In 1975, he won the Obie Award for Distinguished Playwriting for The Mound Builders.
