Pharr Mounds is a major Middle Woodland archaeological site in northern Mississippi near Tupelo, with eight dome-shaped earthen burial mounds spread across about 90 acres on Pharr Flats at the headwaters of the Tombigbee River. Built and used between about 1 and 200 CE during the Miller 1 phase of the Miller culture, it is one of the region’s largest mound complexes from that era. Excavations in 1966 uncovered fire pits, clay platforms, human burials, and ceremonial objects, including materials from as far away as the Great Lakes, linking the site to the wider Hopewell exchange system and ceremonial network.
