Paleo-Indian Mounds

Ocmulgee National Monument

Ocmulgee National Monument preserves traces of over ten millennia of Southeastern Native American culture, including mounds built more than 1,000 years ago by the South Appalachian Mississippian culture.These include the Great Temple and other ceremonial mounds, a burial mound, and defensive trenches. They represented highly skilled engineering techniques and soil knowledge, and the organization of many laborers. The site has evidence of "17,000 years of continuous human habitation." The park is located on the east bank of the  Ocmulgee River.
