Pocahontas Mounds

The Pocahontas site consists of two mounds and an associated village area. Mound A is a rectangular platform mound currently 20 feet tall, built between AD 750 and 1500. Excavations located structural features on the mound surface, as well as numerous ceramic, stone, and bone artifacts. Mound B, roughly 650 yards northeast of Mound A, is a conical burial mound. Excavations in 1926-27 recovered numerous artifacts, including an effigy pipe and stone celt. Mound B was constructed ca. AD 1200-1600.
