Indian Mound Burial Sites

Indian mound burial sites are historic earthen structures built by Indigenous peoples in North America, used from ancient times through certain periods. These mounds served as cemeteries, ceremonial centers, or markers of significant events. They are often shaped like cones, platforms, or domes and contain remains, funerary objects, and artifacts offering insights into their cultures, spiritual practices, and social hierarchies. Preserved across regions, especially in the Midwest and Southeastern U.S., these sites are valuable archaeological resources that help us understand the lives and traditions of Indigenous communities long before European contact.
