1983 EXCAVATIONS AT PINSON MOUNDS: THE TWIN MOUNDS

| description | The primary objective of the 1983 field season at Pinson Mounds near Jackson, Tennessee was to test a pair of large, conjoined burial mounds known as the Twin Mounds (Mound 6). The earthwork was selected for excavation because it represents the only large burial mound at this large Middle Woodland ceremonial site. Approximately one-third of the northern mound was excavated. The mound exhibits complex stratigraphy that is unique for the southeast. Four large submound tombs containing a total of 16 individuals were excavated. Radiocarbon dates indicate that the mound was constructed around A.D. 80-100. Data from the excavations provide valuable information about the societies responsible for the Pinson Mounds. |
