It was inhabited by peoples of the Plum Bayou culture (650—1050 CE), in a time known as the Late Woodland period. The site was occupied between 700 and 1000 CE. The site once consisted of four mounds, several flat-topped platform mounds and at least one burial mounds and extensive midden areas. The site was excavated by Edward Palmer in 1883. He described the largest two platform mounds as being 4 metres (13 ft) in height and 3 metres (9.8 ft). He also noted a 2.4 metres (7.9 ft) burial mound and a low mound of undetermined function. The largest platform mound survives to the present day. This mound was tested in 1988 and 1994, and returned dates between 730 and 1010 CE. plain 2018-10-15T22:16:02-07:00 Image Arkansas Native American Heritage sites 34.54895, -91.8899 jpeg/1200 x 795 pixels Late Woodland Period Plum Bayou culture 700 - 1010 AD Joseph Brown 5eac7ef3705d9f80e567b77e809a27064bd00249This page is referenced by:
