Additional information about Etowah Indian Mounds
Etowah Indian Mounds is an archaeological site in Bartow County, Georgia south of Cartersville, Georgia in the United States. The site sits on the north shore of the Etowah River. Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site is managed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. There are three main mounds at the site and three lesser known mounds. The community was inhabited from about 1000-1550 A.D. by Native Americans of the Mississippian culture. The town was occupied in three distinct architectural phases (c. 1000-1200 AD) (c. 1250-1375 AD) and (c. 1375-1550 AD.) Older pottery found on the site suggest that there was an earlier village (c. 200 BC-600 AD,) associated with the Swift Creek Culture. Approximately, two miles downstream (west) of the Mississippian town was a much older town with some large mounds, dating from at least 0 AD.
