Caddo Archaeology

Caddo archaeology studies the ancient Caddo Nation, a Native American group primarily located in what is now the southeastern United States. This field examines artifacts like pottery, tools, and burial mounds to understand Caddo culture, social structure, and their interactions with European settlers. Key findings reveal their advanced agricultural practices, elaborate trade networks, and unique religious beliefs. Through excavations and research, archaeologists piece together the Caddo's rich history, contributing to our knowledge of indigenous societies and their resilience over time.
