Caddo Burial Mounds

Caddo Burial Mounds are ancient earthworks built by the Caddo people, who inhabited parts of present-day Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. These mounds, often constructed from layers of earth and sometimes shaped into platforms or ridges, served as ceremonial sites and burial places for important leaders and ancestors. They reflect the social and spiritual practices of the Caddo culture and provide valuable insights into their history and beliefs. Many of these mounds are preserved today as archaeological sites, helping us understand the sophisticated society of the Caddo people long before European contact.
